Late last night I ead the latest Corporate Rebel post and in it Pim de Morre announced that he was reading Escape from Freedom^∇.

I've been thinking where the inspiration for Radical had come from (I don't consider myself extraordinary) and this may be an important link in the chain because I read this book in 1969-70 when I was 18-19 years old (I am 73 now).

In it Pim says the he talks about Escape from Freedom and Embrace Freedom. I'll find down more detail tomorrow when I start to read it again (50 years later). I have probably consciously forgotten most of it, but the lessons became part of me.
