Welcome to ON THE CREST: Growing through Effective Choices. This book is
designed to help you read, journal, and grow -- in the direction of making more
effective choices.
ON THE CREST is intended to help you:
(1) as a member of an ON-THE-CREST GROUP,
(2) as an individual seeking to achieve self-growth on your own, or
(3) as a counselee using these pages as guided tasks at the suggestion of
your counselor.
Besides the obvious meaning of ON THE CREST -- riding on the high point of
the wave, or reaching a mountaintop experience, the letters in CREST form an
acronym of five choices that is introduced in the first chapter of this book.
A second meaning suggests the purpose of ON THE CREST: Choice,
Responsibility, and Effective Skills Training. ON THE CREST will help you gain
a sense of the ever-present opportunities for choice you have available, it will help you see better how
you might take responsibility for
making your choices, and it offers opportunities for effective skills
training that will show you ways in which
you might make more effective choices.
The Introduction to ON THE CREST provides detailed suggestions for
Journaling that are intended to be useful whether you are exploring on your
own, as a member of an ON-THE-CREST GROUP, or as an adjunct to counseling. The
pages also provide specific instructions for organizing and for conducting an
ON-THE-CREST GROUP.
The first eleven chapters of ON THE CREST are presented in their entirety.
Finally, the introduction and a sample of an activity from the final chapter,
Chapter 31, are provided.
