Deep, astonishingly well researched and mindblowing. An exploration of one of the most basic (and least understood) human traits--our ability to create and share gifts.
The Gift
Recommended by Seth Godin (4)
2012
Long, rich, and intricate, this book by poet Lewis Hyde takes us on a tour of gifts, art, poetry, commerce, and the history of the world. His understanding of how seemingly small decisions about things like usury changed our world forever is profound.

Lewis Hyde, author of the seminal The Gift, only writes a book a decade. The new one is due soon, I'll be adding it to my stack on pub day. It's called Forgetting.

George Dyson's book Analogia has been on this list before, but it's worth repeating. The same goes for The Gift by Lewis Hyde and the Bandwidth series by Eliot Peper.
