According to Lisa Bloom, the women and girls of today
represent a stark paradox. While American women excel in
education at every level, they likewise obsessively focus on
celebrity media. While women outperform their male
counterparts in employment in urban areas for the first time
in history, they simultaneously spend countless hours
staring in the mirror contemplating plastic surgery. Lisa
Bloom fears that women are in danger of spiraling into a
nation of dumbed down, tabloid media obsessed, reality TV
addicts. Too often, they outsource matters to "experts" and
in doing so neglect to truly think for themselves. The solution: Lisa Bloom has the solution and it involves one simple word:
Think. In this provocative, entertaining, educational, and
thoroughly researched book, Lisa outlines the ways that we
as a society, and particularly women, have fallen off the
intellectual path, and, very specifically, points to how
damaging this has been to us on many levels. Lisa shows us
the fallout--but she also provides the solutions for
"Reclaiming the Brain God Gave You" and seizing back control
of your mind and your life. Think is delivered in a
no-nonsense manner that will make you laugh, make you
question yourself, make you squirm, but, most important,
make you start thinking again.
