Timeline
Between his stints at Microsoft, Brodie embarked upon a personal self-improvement quest. He took numerous courses and participated in retreats, looking for an answer to the question of "why money and success didn’t make me happy." He wrote about his experience in his first book, Getting Past OK: The Self-Help Book for People Who Don’t Need Help, first published in 1993. The book became a regional bestseller and was republished by Warner Books. Brodie followed Getting Past OK with Virus of the Mind in 1995. Virus of the Mind explored the new field of memetics, but from a practical point of view. Hay House bought the rights to both books and currently publishes them. Both books are in print in many languages worldwide.
