Here’s what readers are saying about The Lost Message.
The Lost Message is the message we need right now. Funny as saying that in absolute terms seems to go against the message, but as the books alludes to, searching for truth is not a destination but an ongoing journey. I love how it frames asking questions versus sharing answers. What a more empathic world we would be in if we did that and hopefully this books is a great place to start. Rob B
This is a work that is a “easy read”, very creative & thought provoking in many ways on a host of questions about the way we all see things very differently based upon our upbringing, cultural biases, “historically” based repetition and natural influence of our differing life experiences. Ken H
The questions and narratives you pose got me reflecting on how so much of what we do could be “the blind leading the blind”, “never questioning just going along”, “the cutting off the ham end piece story (we just have always done it that way and never asked why)” and “mob mentality ( people riled up because everyone else is)” as a few examples. Very provocative and timely. Don H
Your message is good: that we need to think about why we believe what we do and how those beliefs determine our behavior, as well as how they can be obscured by the powerful to manipulate us. As in your book, some will respond in the right way, but others need to turn it into a cult, and finally someone won’t tolerate it at all. The ending reflects my own growing pessimism about the possibility of changing behavior, in any of your moral, social/conventional, and personal spheres, on so many issues that are important to me: climate change, LGBTQ+ rights, poverty and homelessness, our military, and factory farming.

Truly a wonderful read. Thought-provoking! I found it to be especially pertinent in today’s environment of fake news and the “hard selling” of slanted philosophies. As a trained Marketing professional, I am embarrassed by the way the promoters of extreme political views “package” their message to the masses, who in turn accept what they hear without questioning the basis of the message.
