A. Peterson wrote his entire life. He cut his teeth editing
and publishing company magazines for Jaqua Advertising Agency,
while also working on his own writings. In 1961 the editor
of This Week magazine (a national Sunday supplement) thrust him
into fame by publishing his inspirational messages. Every
week 14 million people read his writings, and thousands wrote
urging him to write a book.
Working with
Henry Simon, he published his first book, The Art of Living, at
the age of sixty. Since then, he wrote book after book, with
over a million copies sold. For twenty-five years, he wrote
a monthly column for Science of Mind magazine, and once again his
readers urged him to compile those essays into a book for easy
reference. The Art of Creative Thinking was Bill Peterson's
response to those many requests. In these busy times,
readers are sure to appreciate his economy of words, which express
significant insights which can be grasped in only a few
minutes.

About our
people pages:
Because many visitors have asked for more information
about particular people whose words appear on the site,
we'll try to give you as much information as we can about
individuals. The Amazon links should give you access
to works by the author, though at times they'll display
other books if the author has written an essay or
introduction for those books. |

The
surface of the ocean changes constantly. Now it is smooth
and quiet.
Again it becomes violent and tempestuous. But in its depths,
down under
the storms that whip the surface into a fury, there is a zone of
eternal
calm which no storm ever reaches, no hurricane ever ruffles.
The surface of life is also in a state of constant flux, with good
days and bad, victory and defeat. To maintain, as the ocean
does,
a deep inner calm, while the storms of misfortune, reverses, fears
and
worries lash at the surface of life, is to discover the secret of
serenity.
