5.0 out of 5 starsLet's open our minds!
By Helen H on April 11, 2013
Format: Paperback
This book seems to have hit a nerve yet, the book is really a statement of how our society works both past and present and provides thought provoking insight into it's functioning. How are we ever to become a better more compassionate world if we don't study and consider how things work? If we are fearful of challenging our thoughts then are we really afraid of the potential that the controlling hierarchies could lose their momentum and power. I found this book very enlightening and conforting to have a dialog about issues I had noticed and experienced myself. By being exposed to these thoughts I felt more empowered to deal with the hierarchies in my world. Rather than feeling frustrated with their power, I found myself amused by their efforts to maintain their position and it helped me cope with them. For this reason, anyone who will read this book with an open mind should be able to enhance their own life experiences.

5.0 out of 5 starswell worth reading
By errorprone on April 16, 2013
Format: Paperback
this is an excellent book! george santayana's famous quote applies here: "Those who do not know history's mistakes are doomed to repeat them." the childress sisters offer some well documented research and observations about some dysfunctional elements in our society (and history) that stand in the way of the usa becoming a truly great country.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat and Challenging
By Mergatroid Gonzalez on August 13, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I read this book a few years ago. Charlotte and Harriet Childress presented so many good ideas in this book, but I found some of it challenging. I think that's how they meant it to be. The interesting thing is that I cannot forget this book. As I interact at work and get more involved with politics, my church and other things outside of work, I can't help but relate back to the major ideas presented in this book. I no longer find the ideas challenging, but now understand that they are absolutely correct. The only issue for me is to figure out how to engage fully in life without supporting harmful hierarchies. This involves every aspect of life, from what I buy to where I work, who I support in politics, and who I include as friends. Amazing.

5.0 out of 5 starsThe best book I have read
By Arle B on April 12, 2013
Format: Paperback
Clueless at the Top: While the Rest of Us Turn Elsewhere for Life, Liberty, and Happiness
Clueless at the Top is by far the best book I have read and I am a proud owner. It seems to me that some of these people who are writing negative comments only read one article that was in the Washington Post and have never read the book. Instead they are running scared because they think they were tarnished over a beautiful well-written article of truth, which seemed to have hit them below the belt, well! I would think they would buy the book and read it for themselves so they might just learn something.
