0 What You Could Read and Watch in 2016

Many New Year's resolutions reflect a desire to read more, to see more, to be more connected to thought and culture. I'm fortunate to have friends -- and even some enemies -- who are brilliant, thoughtful, and engaged. Their recommendations are priceless and much of my own education has been the result of conversations with them.

I asked my network for the one "thing" that they are most thankful they experienced this past year. By "thing," I meant something like a book, movie, piece of art, etc.. Here is the list.
