Thinking and Learning

Let's consider that thinking and learning is how we reconcile what we know with what we want to know. Can certain books or mentors facilitate the process, and add value to the knowledge we gain? The books selected for this category are here because they share a depth of experience that in one way or another stirred our thinking.

Now we can’t help wondering, if we take the time to read about the experiences and lessons of others, just how much might we strengthen our ability to turn our own learning into innovation? Let us know what you think.
