From Seth Godin’s new [Domino Project](http://www.thedominoproject.com/2011/03/books-notes-tweets-and-the-change.html?ref=cjchilvers.com):

> This is why books matter. Books, used properly, immerse us in a single idea. Books bring a voice into our head, create a different brain chemistry, open doors to a more powerful lever, a learning that can yes, change us. Dozens (perhaps hundreds) of times in my life, a book has changed my mind. So have some powerful lectures or direct engagements with teachers or mentors. These are the moments of true change, times when we are entrained with the message, when we feel the learning happening in real time.
