 In these trying times when we see a declining economy, rising concerns of environmental deterioration, and rising tensions between nations, it is important for us all to develop our ideas towards improving our society. In his book “My Thinking Cap-Solutions For Global Crisis” author Brad Fregger discusses and posits solutions for the energy crisis, the immigration crisis, eases concerns for the climate change and explores a variety of other topics like our future in space, intelligent design, effective leadership, and ethics in business.

So who is Brad Fregger and why does he think he has such great ideas? Brad holds a Master’s Degree in Futuristics, a field dedicated to analyzing current conditions and making predictions for future developments. Brad brings 45 years of experience in retailing, corporate training, publishing, and software development to back his discussions of effective leaders and revolutionizing the business environment. Brad also is an international speaker in Europe, the Middle East, and Canada; when Brad speaks, people listen.

The best feature about this book is the conversational tone he uses to discuss the issues at hand. He does not sensationalize the issues to promote fear in the reader, nor does he press his beliefs as the only truth. His goal is to present a theory in hopes of spurring action, for he knows that no action will result in an environment far more difficult for future generations.

His theory on reducing pollution rests on a movement toward the electric car, he de-sensationalizes the notion that we are increasing the temperature of our planet, and he examines the evidence to dismiss the claims that polar bears are endangered. These are but a few of the topics Brad discusses, and are presented to inspire further thought into solving our situation.

“The future of our society is dependent on our hopes, expectations, and images of it….We can increase the possibility of a more positive future by developing and nurturing positive visions and images of it.”
