Edward Glassman, Ph.D.
“When I turned 80, I realized I knew stuff my family didn't know, so I wrote 5 books in 9 months: one on nutrition & weight loss; two on magic tricks; and two on team creativity.
I then published the books with CreateSpace, who set up my E-stores and links to Amazon.com. Finally, I set up this website with Weebly, and here I am.
Thanks to my 4 daughters and 16 grandchildren for helping me along the way. I am so grateful."
People ask me why I wrote those particular books when I turned 80. Here’s why.
I have been an amateur magician since my teens.
Hence the two magic books.
I taught nutrition for 12 years while I was a Professor in the Medical School in the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill.
Hence the nutrition & weight loss book.
I was a creativity management consultant and a columnist writing newspaper columns and articles on "Creativity At Work" and "Business Creativity."
Hence the two Team Creativity books."
