This book completely changed my view on design, architecture, and even business and life.

I used to say, this is interesting (e.g. this is cool).

Then I say, I don't want something that's just interesting, I want something that's good. (e.g. I'm a minimalist and I try to remove insignificant stuff to get to the core, the good).

After reading this book, I realized I want something that is actually alive.
