A Mind is a Terrible Thing to Waste

By | | ,

Thinking seems to be a lost art. (Hmm, have I posted on this before?) Is it just because people are lazy and don’t have to think? Or have they truly lost abilities to think?

I read this book many years ago, (I notice this one has a new cover.) It gives plenty of food for thought on why we aren’t thinking! 🙂
