Meet the Author: Ed Nystrom *
of the Book: The Psychology
of Positive Thinking

7:30 p.m., Tuesday, September 15, 2009* -
local author Ed Nystrom will discuss aspects of his new book,
The Psychology of Positive Thinking.
Our brain is like a computer, but what a computer! This computer has the capacity to contain an entire universe of information. Our computer runs on the data that is input from our senses, and all that information is stored in our limitless data banks.
We will explore how we come to possess such a fantastic amount of knowledge as to fill an entire universe, and perform powerfully and brilliantly at times, yet at other times be so helpless and limited. If we use our mind to control our brain, instead of the other way around, then we do have the power to affect reality with our thinking.
