 Really interesting.... June 7, 2009

Mr. Brodie has written a whole book on the metaphor of the "Meme". It is a very interesting even entertaining read but I would hesitate to say that it introduces a "New Sience". As humans we have neglected the investigation of "Mind" too long or left it to those who have other axes to grind... The idea of the Meme at the very least begins to give us a vocabulary with which to begin that is not based on the nearly superstitious views of our cultures...
 It's a gift June 1, 2009

This is a gift I gave to someone. I have no idea how to rate it. I'm assuming it's a wonderful book of its genre.
Heighten your perspective through raised awareness May 27, 2009

Lots of current information in this book to help us realize how our fundamental thoughts about things, determines our happiness and our success. Richard explains the learning pyramid and how a person at each level reacts or creates life as they experience it. The interesting part is those who don't know about these different levels, can be trapped in a lower level without being cognizant of it. At the pinnacle or level three, a person sees through issues and establishes a purpose for their life.
An interesting idea about meme's is that people will hold steadfast onto their beliefs, and will fight and some have even killed to keep transferring their memes to others. When we realize the broader scope of ideas through increased awareness, doors open where before they may have seemed closed. Only when you open your mind, much of this will then make sense.
 Ridiculous! May 27, 2009

Pretends to be scientific, but is simply trivia turned over and over. I can't believe this is being reprinted (originally 1996) and available in stores. Garbage!

I recently finished this book and would recommend it to others interested in how language influences behaviors. Sure, there are many themes the book addresses, but my main focus was examining the connections between language manipulation and control of behavior.
