Constructive Thinking: How to Grow Beyond Your Mind


In this book, I give you an overview of my three-phase philosophy for becoming a Constructive Thinker and learning how to create your ideal life. In it, I’ll take you step-by-step through the process of 1) freeing yourself from the database of your mind; 2) learning to connect with your true self (the acorn); and 3) learning to think constructively. This book is a great introduction to me, my approach for helping people live more ideal lives, and what it means to become a true Constructive Thinker.


Please note: If you purchase the course Becoming a Constructive Thinker, a PDF version of Constructive Thinking: How to Grow Beyond Your Mind) is included in your purchase.

The Littlest Acorn


The programming we inherit while growing up plays a huge role in how we end up feeling about ourselves and how our lives ultimately turn out. For me, the beliefs around self-worth are the most critical for becoming a Constructive Thinker. In The Littlest Acorn, I share a story that will help young children learn to value their own self-worth rather than falling into the trap so many children do of comparing themselves to others. If you have young children in your life, please considering sharing this beautifully illustrated, inspiring story with them.

Mastering the Mental Game of Volleyball


If you have any junior high or high school volleyball players or athletes in your life, please consider sharing this booklet with them. I’m a firm believer in the benefits of athletics for encouraging personal growth. However, as a psychologist, I see too often how the pressures of competitive high school sports can have detrimental effects on young athletes, sadly often diminishing the joy of the sport and having it become more like a job. In this book, we present a model for approaching volleyball (or really any sport) more constructively so that athletes not only excel athletically but also in their personal development.

Constructive Thinking Supplement Editions

The Constructive Thinking Supplements are booklets designed to give you a deeper dive into Constructive Models for approaching key aspects of life: Sense of Self, Relationships, Emotions/Conflict, Stress, Money, Environmental Influence, and Fulfilling Your Purpose.


If you’ve taken the Constructive Thinking Profile, these supplements correspond to the different scales on your report. I would encourage you to explore more deeply the topics where it indicated you may have inherited more dysfunctional programming. These supplements are designed to help you make exponential progress in reprogramming your mind more constructively.

Assessment Tools

One of the most important keys to becoming a Constructive Thinker is becoming aware of the subconscious programming you inherited while growing up. Without awareness, you’ll likely perpetually repeat the patterns programmed into your subconscious mind. While some of the programming you inherited may be serving you well, if you’re on this website, you likely want more out of your life, which suggests that at least some of your subconscious programming could use some editing. I’ve created two versions of a self-assessment tool I call the Constructive Thinking Profile to help increase your awareness of your subconscious programming in several key aspects of your life.


The Free Version provides a brief, broad assessment of whether the programming you may have inherited regarding self-worth was more constructive or dysfunctional. The Full Version, gives you a much more comprehensive assessment into how constructive or dysfunctional the programming you inherited may have been in several key aspects of life including: Sense of Self, Relationships, Emotions/Conflict, Stress, Money, Environmental Influence and Life Purpose. Once you complete the assessment, a 20+ page report will be delivered to you via email showing you your scores on the various scales. If you’re interested, here is an example of a Constructive Thinking Profile full report.


Please note: If you purchase the course Becoming a Constructive Thinker, the Constructive Thinking Profile (Full Version) is included in your purchase.
