What Have You Changed Your Mind About?: Today's Leading Minds Rethink Everything by John Brockman, Brian Eno

4.0

A collection of ~150 essays covering the topic of minds changing, and specifically what the essayists themselves have changed their mind about in their own lives or field of study. There is a lot of terrific, thought provoking writing on display here. Of course, some of the authors chose to sidestep the question entirely and instead got preachy on some specific idea or another. Those few subpar essays aside, it's a killer collection covering a massive range of topics from Astrophysics to Neurology, Statistics to Biology, Theology to Physiology. It's been a fascinating read, and I found that I specifically enjoyed the essays which covered topics that I had little prior knowledge in.
