Los Angeles, May 8, 2002 – Beverly Hills-based Rosalene Glickman, Ph.D., author of Optimal Thinking: How to Be Your Best Self (John Wiley & Sons, April 2002), commented today on Warren Buffett’s prediction that terrorists will attack U.S. citizens on their own soil. “We have reached a critical mass of negativity,” according to Dr. Glickman. “Unless we change our thinking, a major nuclear, biological, or chemical attack is as Buffett said a virtual certainty. How did this happen? Instead of using Optimal Thinking and optimal realism to create optimal solutions and contingency plans, we’ve been using optimistic thinking and hoping for the best. When the probability and cost of failure are high, optimistic thinking can be disastrous. Positive thinkers got us into this predicament by ignoring and suppressing negativity. It’s up to Optimal Thinking to get us out of it.”
Rosalene Glickman, Ph.D. is the creator and author of Optimal Thinking, hailed by academia and the media as “the successor to positive thinking” and “the basis of personal and professional optimization.”
