| “A Must for Every Parent and Teacher... Absolutely transformed my relationship with my difficult teenager. We had been stuck in a pattern of disappointment and poor school performance for years...the missing ingredient and now his father and I are proud and completely hopeful for a boy who was headed down the wrong path.”
A. Owens, Pacifica, CA
"Changes within Two Days! ...The techniques have truly transformed my ADHD son into a wonderful, helpful, less emotional child. I can't say enough about how great the Nurtured Heart Approach is. I could see changes in my son within two days, and he was a different child after four weeks of following this approach. Buy it!”
S. Gray "Happy Mom," Poulsbo, WA
“Finally the Insight I Desperately Needed... After much therapy and trying every technique to help my son "behave" better, this blew every other technique away! I felt as if it had been written for our family personally. At the risk of sounding dramatic, this approach has brought a lot of peace and happiness into our home, where before there were a lot of power struggles and misbehavior going on. I teach children in the Arts field, and it has also helped me deal much more effectively with the more difficult students.”
L.W. "Dance Teacher," Redondo Beach, CA

Preface from You Are Oprah
by Susan McLeod
Howard Glasser once said to me "'Why' is
overrated. It's unimportant. A waste of time. I just really don't care about
why."
Earth-rocking words, coming from a
therapist.
I had previously held the notion that unearthing
'why' is the reason therapists exist. But not so for Howie. With his simple
formula, you don't have to dredge up or trudge through the sludge of the past to
be your greatness. You don't have to hit the couch or the mountaintop to get
yourself fixed. You don't even have to fix others or the circumstances of your
life to be great. No kidding.
Having been a devotee of 'why' for decades, I am
exquisitely conversant in the ideas presented in most of the best-selling
self-help books. In them I have found inspiration, comfort and hope -- but no
lasting change in me. Before my exposure to the ideas in this book, I lived with
constant awareness of a checklist of my shortcomings that needed to change and
an understanding of each that was nothing short of poetic. Life wasn't about
greatness; it was about doing the best that I could despite all of my 'whys.'
All the while, I lived with a nagging suspicion
that I was great…a knowledge, in my
heart of hearts, that I wasn't nearly so flawed as I'd made myself out to be.
How to release that greatness into action, into my daily life? The stick of
religion didn't prod me to my greatness; the carrot of enlightenment didn't
entice me to my greatness. But birthing a challenging child did, because it
created a crisis in my life that led me to Howard Glasser.
My happy family bubble popped when my firstborn son turned out
to be an intensely challenging child. It was hard to accept that I -- who
studied early childhood education, who holds a master's in communication, who
taught children's church for a decade, who knows the power of thought, the
impact of words, has faith to move mountains, has the spirit of GOD -- yes, that
I was being overtaken by negativity and a punitive parenting cycle as fast as
blue sky retreats from thick black storm clouds.
The conventional solution was Ritalin for my son and Zoloft for
me. Pills to make it all go away -- to make it all better. That's the best
wisdom the world offered. Thank GOD I had the wherewithal to say "No thank you."
I didn't want to thwart what seemed like the butterfly's struggle to escape the
cocoon -- a necessary fight for life, freedom and transformation.
Thus began the search that led me to Howard Glasser and the
Nurtured Heart Approach -- the approach that Howard developed to transform
difficult children into their greatness. I read the book, implemented it in my
home, and it indeed worked like a magic pill! It revolutionized my relationship
with my challenging child immediately and permanently. It gave me skills to pull
him and our family from negativity into positivity and success.
But there was more. My emotions roiled while I read
The
Inner Wealth Initiative: The Nurtured Heart Approach for Educators.
I cried over not having had the approach to help
my son the first four years of his life. But mostly, truth be told, I cried for
myself, wondering what I would have been like if I had been raised with his
approach.
At the next 'girls' night out,' I related the approach to my
two closest girlfriends. Neither of them have children. Their immediate reaction
was: "Everybody needs that! Let's do that with each other. Let's use the
approach on ourselves." So the adventure began. I started to take the simple
principles and techniques from the parenting approach and applied them to
myself. I began to re-parent myself for greatness.
Did it muzzle my inner critic? Finally kill her off once and
for all? Oh, no, a much finer fate was in store for her: With Howard's
approach, I transformed my inner critic to an inner greatness coach.
My experience is far from the first time Howie's approach has transformed an
adult. For the past 12 years, every time a parent coach, an educator, a
therapist or a social worker finds his approach, light bulbs start popping about
the myriad of ways to apply it. When Howie teaches adults the approach, as he
has to thousands, they get pretty excited about using it to help others
transform. But they are in utter awe of what it does for them personally. Just
being immersed in the energizing greatness environment that Howie's work creates
is deeply transformative.
And his protégés are using the approach in so many ways.
Substance abuse addicts, couples in crisis, foster parents, social agencies --
all have been helped immeasurably by this work, which boils down to letting go
of those 'whys' and stepping into one's inborn greatness. As for me, this is the
most freeing thing that's ever happened in my life. I let go of why
and stepped into the power of how to fan my own
embers of greatness into a roaring fire that fuels my passion.
I don't recall my shortcomings. I don't care about my whys or
your whys. Thanks to Howard, I now know HOW to see my greatness, be my
greatness, live my greatness. Now. Anybody can. There's a reason Howard Glasser
isn't into why. The gift of his own intensity to the world is found in his name:
he brings us a simple no-fail formula for HOW.
And guess what? It's not about changing. It's about choosing. That's one
power we all have, and Howard Glasser shows us how to use our choices to
transform ourselves.
