Finished on the plane. It’s a skinny book of essays but with big ol’ implications and ideas. Has me feeling all transformed and revolutionary, sheesh.

Recommend to any teachers, students, citizens, parents, or folks just feeling like there must be something more, like the life we’ve been given, told is the best way, the only way, sounds a little hollow when you wake up long enough to knock on the shell.
