So the eleventh book read in 2011 was Richard Brodie‘s Getting Past OK: The Self-Help Book for People Who Don’t Need Help. This is the second book I’ve read by Brodie this year the first was Virus of the Mind. Brodie is best known as the author of the original version Microsoft Word. After helping Microsoft achieve it’s intial success Brodie was burnt out and dropped out for three years and went on a search for a more meaningful life. He studied all the methods of self-help looking for ways to get past OK and have a more meaningful llife with true satisfaction and fulfillment. In this book Brodie provides a step by step guide for discovering your own individual formula for long term success and happiness.
I confess that I finished the book and thought about answering all the question and really haven’t done it yet! But after thinking about what he suggests I know that the answers will guide me to new heights and look forward to the trip!!
So if you want to Get Past OK! Check out this book!!
Now let me tell you a little of what’s happening, I went back to work a couple of weeks ago after a three or four week furlough. However, I’ve been working at night in the soils lab. As a result, my music listen has been minimal. I don’t have time at night to sit and listen and write like I had been doing! Additionally, I’ve been doing the news reads in the morning so again, music listening and writing has been slow! But I will try to be a little more balanced and hopefully when I get back to day work I can get back in the routine!
