I'm writing a professional article on books that can change our minds. These
are books that have so challenged our preconceptions and ways of thinking
that they have jogged us out of our ordinary mindsets. Some of the ones on
my list are Flatland by Edwin Abbott, Ishmael by Daniel Quinn, and Small Is
Beautiful by E. F. Schumacher. Each of these books brought us radical new
ideas and ways of thinking. I'd appreciate your suggestions and comments.
These should be books (fiction or non-fiction) that are aimed at the general
public, not academic tomes. Furthermore, these should be books that present
new ideas and ways of thinking rather than books that you found emotionally
affecting. Thanks in advance for your suggestions. Mike Baldwin, Director,
Benbrook Public Library
