Sometimes the books I read shine a light (or cast a shadow) that is hard to ignore. This is what books are supposed to do–give you a new perspective. You need to be in the right headspace to take in the information, and you have to question the concepts to spin the idea from multiple angles to see if it holds up under scrutiny. But, when the idea is sound, you can’t see the world the same way you did before.
