This morning, for the first time in perhaps close to a year, I read Seths Blog. I discovered that he had a new book coming out soon called The Song of Significance.

Exploring something new and avoiding regression
Sometimes when things change we spend time hoping and wishing for the the way things once were. But then when things return to the old way, it doesn't quite feel the way we thought it would.

How it started
