I am a parent, educator, and researcher who has worked with hundreds of educational programs, schools, and social agencies as well as thousands of parents and counselors. I taught at the elementary, secondary, and university levels. For the past 30 years, my focus has been on understanding how adults motivate children, youth, and other adults, especially how they motivate them to learn.

What I discovered was pretty simple . . .

· People at any age learn very little, unless they aim to learn.

· Learning is both a process and an outcome, and requires self-motivation.

As a result, I founded the Centers for the Advancement of Educational Practices (CAEP), a small educational services firm dedicated to the continuous improvement of the methods that parents, educators, counselors and managers use to bring about learning. The two main thrusts of the CAEP Mission are as follows:

· Freeing people to learn, in any setting!

· Serve those who are serving learners!

During my early work, The Box and several other visual models became useful tools for those wanting to know how to motivate people to learn. Since then, I have used those models to train thousands of parents, teachers, counselors and managers. This book was written for those who would like to apply many of the principles and ideas surrounding The Box in their everyday lives. There are two goals that drove the writing of this book.

• The primary goal is to free you to live and learn beyond The Box.

• The secondary goal is to help you free others to live and learn beyond The Box.

“Author Nelson L. Noggle Ph.D. Engages Readers in His Comprehensive Guide “Living Beyond The Box” That Will Help Them Manage Peer Pressure and Stress at Home, Work, or School

Dr. Noggle’s delivery in his presentation is direct, well-constructed in a clear manner, providing no-nonsense case illustrations that will help readers fully-understand the experience of what The Box itself is in real life. The references, the “bad boxes” are offensive, used mostly on lack of teaching and direction. Whereas the “healthy boxes” are complementary and inspired by positive reinforcement rather than control. Looking for “healthy boxes” liberates an individual from feeling exploited and defenseless. With its simplistic approach, the book possesses the inherent amount of knowledge and convey an essential means for both parents and experts to readjust their mindsets on the learning techniques.

Applying these lessons from the book, The Box enables the reader to get a good grasp of life through multiple perspectives. The Box is Nelson Noggle’s skillful and direct navigation of how a person can liberate from life’s pressures. It can sometimes be overly serious and intimidating but still characterize several guide books in this interesting work achieved by a doctor, educator, and researcher, composed in a straight-forward, friendly, and approachable method. The text is also complemented with several lively caricature sketches and illustrations that make it even more entertaining and compelling to digest.

According to Dr. Noggle, the idea of The Box is universal, getting boxed-in happens to both young and old alike. An invaluable self-help reference will keep you occupied extensively. A delightful and entertaining guide to understanding how to conquer life’s challenges and difficulties.”
