Episode 3: Library and wandering mind In this podcast I discuss my first encounter with great authors in Gujarat Vidyapeeth library in Ahmedabad, India. I discuss how open access libraries are important part of discovering unexpected subjects, writers and ideas. I also reflect briefly on the book The Worldly Philosophers, by Robert Heilbroner. How wandering mind can generate creative solutions for difficult solution is described.
