Julie - I'm impressed re your Atlas Shrugged indepth experience - it took me over a month to read it without taking notes! Perhaps I should reread it your way to get and retain more of the book's content - my main memory is of really small print in the paperback version:-)

I enjoyed some of the observation exercises and started a journal in Leo's style. I also was interested in seeing mind mapping as a major way of balancing brain hemispheres - I just thought it was a neat way to organize thoughts, speeches and projects quickly!

Re Michael Ross's work, I'm sure if you email him he'll let you know how to get it!
