Los Angeles, August 19, 2003 – Beverly Hills-based Rosalene Glickman, Ph.D., author of Optimal Thinking commented today on the failure of the electical grid. “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’ is a mumbo-jumbo thinking style for dreamers” according to Dr. Glickman. “If we don’t optimize our thinking as a nation and individually, we are inviting possibly worse catastrophes. Why will this happen? Instead of using realistic Optimal Thinking to create optimal solutions and contingency plans, we are still using optimistic thinking and hoping for the best. When the probability and cost of failure are high, optimistic thinking is futile and can be disastrous. Optimistic thinkers (suboptimal positive thinkers) get us in to these predicaments by ignoring and suppressing negativity. It’s up to Optimal Thinking to get us out of this.”
