MJ,<br />
<br />
I am reading your book now, and am a little over half way through it. I have to say, at some points, UNSCRIPTED had me choking up a little bit, that's right, tearing up. I can't speak for anyone else, but you're book is scaring me. I think I'm going a little insane at work (I have a bottom-of-the-totem-pole job). It sounds corny, but I feel like I just can't trust anyone. Like everything out of everyone's mouth is a lie. Liars and backstabbers. The worst are the college graduates (the ones who work in human resources, finance, and sales) who look down at me, a mere mortal, from their ivory towers, like they're better than me.<br />
<br />
Again, this sounds corny, but some days I swear to God everyone is brainwashed. I always knew that it wasn't me that was off, but everyone else. And TMFL made me begin to see that when I read it last year, but UNSCRIPTED is the book that really scared it into me. Sometimes I feel like the company I work for is alive and breathing, and wants me out, as though I'm a cog that just won't fit in their F*cking machine. I'm scared of the company and the people I work for. And it's a "good" company. You've all heard of it.<br />
<br />
And it goes past just where I work. In the book, when you're talking about productocracy, and how the best companies/products/services don't need to advertise, and how you don't trust the companies that advertise so F*cking much, I did a tiny bit of research and pulled up Geico reviews. Holy shit, it's just like you said (about companies you didn't name), 1 star review after 1 star review. How the hell do they stay in business? It's things like that that scare the shit out of me, and make me wonder what other lies have I been mindlessly eating my ENTIRE life? <br />
<br />
It's frightening. Lies, lies, and more lies. I feel like a F*cking mindless slave. A walking, talking, zombie who can brush my teeth and ties my shoes.<br />
<br />
I'm realizing just how alone I really am in this world. <br />
<br />
The cover of the book itself is one I sometimes stare at for minutes at at time (I know that's weird). But I'll look at it and smile, sometimes even chuckle. It's the truth. I feel EXACTLY like the white character, with a big smile on his face because he's escaping, while the faceless reds seem to hate him for it, seem to want to stop him.<br />
<br />
I read your book at work whenever I can. Especially when things get rough, I'll go into the bathroom and pull out the book. Whenever I read it, I get a feeling that this is all temporary, that everything's going to be okay. This may not be a "thank you for making me rich, MJ" post, but it's a "thank you for this life saving book, MJ" post.<br />
<br />
You have a fan for life. <br />
<br />
<br />
By the way, I know I sound F*cking nuts. <br />
<br />
P.S. M.J., I like that you live in AZ. I grew up in Glendale. I, unlike you however, prefer the rain and dreariness of Oregon, which is why I moved here. <br />
<br />
Just another fan,<br />
