What are the books that saved Chris Anderson?
In his talk here: http://www.ted.com/talks/chris_anderson_shares_his_vision_for_ted.html
Chris mentions that, “books kind of saved me in the last couple years, and that's a gift that I would like to pass on.”
I am curious to know what those books are. Does anybody know?

I think it helps to shed light on what there is that is 'other' than rationality. He relates some common threads between different areas of human endeavor such as philosophy, psychology, neurobiology, mental health, art, government and cultural evolution of values.
I especially like the idea that within our skulls is an organ that has both the ability to interact with the world with a delicate relational understanding, and simultaneously the articulate ability to grasp, categorize and abstract from the world, concepts and things which we can use and understand with clarity.
Thank you for your effort and contribution in helping to share and bring knowledge, new insights and profound experiences to so many.
Best Regards,

I’m reading it now and it is a pleasant brain tickler. Sometimes you get it, sometimes you don’t. And even when you get it, you’re not entirely sure what you got :)
