If you could recommend 3 books to anyone, what would they be?
What are you reading now?
I'm reading tons for my doctoral dissertation, and have a big stack of books to read for pleasure to start the moment I have my time back. I'm about to read Designing Design Education, by 250 experts from 4 continents. I'm reading this because I'm deeply interested in design education and am on the steering committee of The Future of Design Education Initiative.
And I'm about to start reading Brain Storm, an autobiography by Shelley Kolton who has been my doctor for many years. It's a book about her childhood and her diagnosis of Dissociative Identity Disorder.
