By Richard Brodie

“Incredibly useful” Bill Gates

Synopsis:Richard Brodie dropped out of Harvard to join the computer revolution and write the first version of Microsoft Word. Then, burned out helping Microsoft achieve its phenomenal success, he quit and embarked on an equally intense search for a more meaningful life. For three years Richard mined the wisdom of famed self-improvement seminars and workshops. Most of all, he wanted to discover why life seemed to coast along at either an 'OK' level or plummet into 'the pits', spending so little time in true satisfaction and fulfilment. In this book, he shares the results of his odyssey, providing a step-by-step guide for discovering your own individual formula for long-term success and happiness.

In Getting Past OK you’ll learn how to:

Understand what’s really going on in your life
Make the most of your potential
Pull out of crises and move on
Achieve rewarding relationships
Be in control of stressful situations
Discover your own personal formula for success

Getting Past OK gives you all the tools you need to find yourself, take charge and get past OK.

Richard Brodie is best known as the original creator of Microsoft Word. His groundbreaking book on memes, Virus of the Mind, spent 52 weeks on the Amazon.com Hot 100. An accomplished speaker, Richard has appeared on dozens of television and radio programmes, including The Oprah Winfrey Show.
