review 1: It is an interesting book filled with statistics. I do however like the ideas that it shows. The mind is truly a powerful thing we have seen that but few use it for what should be done to improve our world but many use it for their own personal gain disregarding what happens to everyone else. One can only imagine what could be done if people actually tried to do something that would benefit everyone.
review 2: I won this book on Goodreads, otherwise I most likely wouldn't have read it. However, it was a worthwhile read. The author takes a very in-depth look at the resources available to our world. Naturally, the first things that come to mind are oil, gold, water, etc., when in reality, according to the author, it is the fact that we have our minds. With our in... moretellect, we can generally create solutions to problems that might on first blush not seem to have an easy solution. He looks back through history at example after example of just how we "thought" ourselves out of sticky situations and created unique solutions to the thorniest of issues. Very well-researched and a more thorough analysis of this axiom than one could think possible. less
