Missed Perceptions, Challenge Your Thoughts Change Your Thinking

by Ferida Wolff

Missed Challenge Your Thoughts Change Your Thinking is a book that will shift the way you look at the world. Written in individual essays, it really poses just one question - How large can you be? It focuses on expanding perception in all directions. Each time we hold on tightly to what we think is the only answer, we miss perceptions that aren't within our current frame of reference. When we question our long-held thoughts and understandings, we challenge our perceptions and encourage experiences that broaden us, awaken us, and ultimately enlarge the space in which we live. Our individual openness to a wider perspective is the gateway to a more satisfying and creative life.

About the author

Ferida Wolff (née Mevorach) was born on July 7, 1946, in Brooklyn, New York. She grew up in Brooklyn and Queens, New York, where she enjoyed reading children's books from the public library and writing stories, letters, notes, and diaries. At age twelve, she decided she wanted to become a writer after excelling in a school writing assignment.

Ferida Mevorach married Michael L. Wolff on February 3, 1965. She earned a B.A. degree in 1967 and an M.S. degree in education in 1970, both from Queens College of the City University of New York. Wolff developed her writing by participating in an amateur writers' workshop in Medford, New Jersey, in the late 1970s. In 1980, she began contributing non-fiction pieces to several newspapers and magazines in New Jersey and Pennsylvania as a free-lance writer.

Wolff published her first book, Pink Slippers, Bat Mitzvah Blues, a young adult novel, in 1989. She drew on her daughter Stephanie's experiences as a dancer for the subject matter. Wolff has produced fourteen children's books in all, including three Halloween-themed books and four joke books that she co-authored with her neighbor and published poet, Dolores Kozielski. Listening Outside Listening Inside (1999), a book for adults on the importance of listening to personal messages, grew out of Wolff's long experience with yoga and other meditation techniques. She has taught yoga for almost thirty years and earned a Certificate in Holistic Studies from Rosemont College in Rosemont, Pennsylvania, in 1992.

Ferida Wolff lives with her husband in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, and writes full time.
