As members of the Society of Exchange Counselors, creativity is at the forefront of our daily thinking. But, how does creative thinking begin and subsequently become nourished over time?
I see that process as a “Journey of the Mind” which begins and ends with the things we read and experience every day. As our experiences vary by who we are and what we do each day so do the books we read to expand our horizons and keep our creative thinking on the cutting edge.
So, I got curious as to what books were on the nightstand of my fellow Counselors. Below is some information I gathered and thought I would share with Observer readers…
Enjoy your “Journey of the Mind.”

- Letter to a Young Conservative
Author: Dinesh D. Saueza
Topic: "An easy read. D. Saueza’s letters
to a young college student are short, pointed, insightful
and fun. Letters entitled "Lies my teacher taught
me", "Why government is a problem",
"Are immigrants to blame?" are just a few
that debunk traditional liberal bases and challenge
a young college student in a liberal setting to look,
understand and develop conservative ideals."
