Empire of illusion by chris hedges

[360 overstand]

This book is OUTSTANDING. 

The cruxt of it is, our whole idea of everything ranging from school to love is completely manufactured. School and parents are teaching a me first attitude, television shows are making it seem good to lack integrity, honesty and trust.  Politricks is a drama. The lack of reading ability leading to a totalitarian society and much more.

Get it its definitely worth it.

What an excellent read!  It was interesting that Chris' thoughts about the Law of Attraction. He said it was a gimmick just as praying to God or Jesus.  Also how industries like GM and Toyota adopted different training programs ("team attitudes") from the Japanese. Those attitudes also trickled down to my old stomping ground L'Oreal.  The "team trek" and meetings and "all for one, one for all attitude" got on my nerves! I'm so glad I'm off the plantation!

Yeah the all for one attitude is very hitleresque.

I always got in trouble as an employee because when I saw something that didn't make sense I would speak on it instead of "falling in line"

The law of attraction as it relates to "the secret" , yeah I would call that a "fix".  Something to immediately feel good but lacks genuine substance and actionable info.
