Because my ideas suck sober

Word of the Day: Mind Grenade

Posted on September 5, 2007 - Filed Under Thought Starters

Mind Grenade

A mind grenade is an idea that is so astounding that it shakes the very foundations of how you think. It is a concept that when you hear about it or look at it … you just stare in awe.

It can manifest itself in a picture, a movie or even though words on a page. Regardless, it makes you reframe the way that you are looking at a problem. It may even encourage you to reconsider the way that you perceive human nature or the world around you. It’s what idea drunks like me live for!

Here are a couple of mind grenades for you today. Some are good. Some are bad. But hopefully, they’ll blow your mind.

Sun breaking through clouds over Belagamo. Makes you believe in God.

Blink by Malcom Gladwell. It made me trust my instincts.

Click for the PostSecret video. It has changed the way I perceive those around us. Everyone has a secret that defines them.
