 I Couldn't Get Past OK July 14, 2009

Richard Brodie developed Microsoft Word. Perhaps he should stick to writing computer software. I found only about a third of this book informative or helpful. Now that I think about it, I find only a third of Microsoft Word useful.
The Trojan Horse July 5, 2009

The information presented by Mr. Brodie is accurate, but his method is demonstrative of exactly what he is saying. A "meme" is a thought implanted by others to advance their agenda. Think of it as a sound bite. Memes that are easily implanted, he calls "good" memes. Because the word good has its origins in the word God, I got on my high horse right there on page 15! The example he used was the denigrative propaganda of Jews by the Nazis prior to WWII. I found nothing "good" in that! Also on page 15, he had a very shallow interpretation of three generations of shaming the child.
He defines a Trojan Horse as a virus that looks innocuous, but carries with it deadly information, like the pleasant e-mails that crash your hard drive. Read this book carefully!

 Not worthy of the Hay House name June 27, 2009

Read it all and sent it back to Amazon. This book is in NO WAY uplifting,nourishig,illuminating,or liberating. Hardly"ground breaking". Just the same old psycological rehash slog in breezy dictation style. I guess I haven't "evolved enough" to rid God out of my life. And don't intend to. Worthless book. Why Wayne Dyer pushes it is beyond me. And listen up Louise!: It's NOT worthy of your publishing house name!
 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...
