"Every book on my list completely transformed the way I view a particular topic. For 3rd wave for the first time I saw how interconnected the world is across religion, war/military, government structure/politics, economics/business, education systems, health care and science. "

The Death and Life of Great American Cities
by
"Every book on my list completely transformed the way I view a particular topic. Jane Jacobs flipped urban planning thinking on its head. What makes me love a book more than anything is when someone bring a whole new fresh way of thinking to a discipline, where you read it and just go "holly shit." That was Jane Jacobs for me. "
