Drawing inspiration from the epic story of the Apollo Moon Program, collected research, and his own life experiences, Dr. Anthony Paustian outlines the many small steps it takes to achieve anything great in life. With the practical tools described in this imaginative, easy-to-read book, A Quarter Million Steps teaches the reader how to affect change and create success through imagination, creative problem-solving, effective leadership, mental focus, work ethic, teamwork, and an understanding of the role of perception. The reader will learn less about what to think and more about how to think.

Anthony Paustian holds a Ph.D. in Educational Psychology and graduate degrees in business administration and design.

Since its opening, the campus has regularly appeared in national media and won many awards including being recognized as one of the nation's most innovative organizations.
