Day 205: A Highly Anticipated Book


I heard Judy Johnson speak at the end of June at a secular student leadership conference.  She was a great speaker and an expert when it comes to dogmatic mindsets. Having enjoyed her speech so much, I bought her book the next day.

Result:  I've now read over 200 pages, and I'm not impressed with the book.  At all.  I'm not saying that the material isn't good; but the book is VERY long--over 500 pages long.  I feel like I can sum up all of what I've read by saying that there are different types of dogmatic beliefs, and a dogmatic belief system is caused by anxiety of uncertainty and of being wrong.  I just wish that this book was shorter and more condensed.
