- Author Susan Wise Bauer introduces the new updated & expanded edition of her popular book "The Well-Educated Mind," which gives you the tools you need to explore the great works of history, science, poetry, drama, autobiography, and literature.
This woman amazes me. She's so young and knows so much it blows my mind. I wish I had found her a few years ago.
My grand children as teens enjoyed Weis selected histories.
I am having book envy! Look at all the wonderful books you are surrounded by, Susan!
Obrigado Susan! Brasil.
This book has done a lot for me. Thanks for existing!
Jesus, this lady's style is so crisp. Bought two of the damn books even though I already know this stuff :)
Dear Susan,
How did you become so smart? I'm genuinely asking. You're one of the smartest people on the entire planet that I'm aware of and, given that I also would like to be smart someday, I'd like to know how you acquired your bredth of understanding and intellect.
Eliza--breadth of understanding comes with time and work--so read, read,
read, read, read! Write about the books that you read. Read fiction,
history, and LOTS of biographies. Read thought journals and decide
whether or not you agree with the articles. Give yourself research
projects on issues and ideas that you know nothing about. By the time
you're my age, you'll have breadth!
Wow, thank you for your kind response. I'm taking those words to heart, I'll get back to you in twenty years and let you know how it's gone. :)
Hi Eliza! It's been 5 years. How is it going so far?
I'm just asking becouse I'll start reading Susan's book now.
I would like to know if you have really benefit from it.
Well-Educated Mind had a great impact on my learning. You rock!
You are so intelligent and well read, articulate...how do you do it? I'm trying to be that way (an intellectual) you rock..
The article on recomendations for adult education was written awhile ago so I am just wondering if those recomendations have changed at all. Thank you for your time you are a very inspiring woman.
So I'm not buying or researching another dang piece of curriculum for my kids or myself until after I've read both of these books. I'm going to buy them right now
Dear Susan,
What's your opinion about How to read a book, Didascalicon and The Intellectual Life?
I need to be sincere: I bought your book thinking I was buying The Well-Trained Mind. =D
But now I'm going to buy both.
youre an inspiration

Does the book mentions anything about philosophy ????
Hello, what do you make of historical novels, from A Tale of Two Cities to sagas by Follett or Archer?
Hi Susan, I'm from Brazil. I would like to know If will have a Kindle edition. Thanks!
+Paulo M Yes! Amazon has it for kindle.
Does your book will help with my vocabulary??
Any book will to some extent help your vocab.
This book is about educating your mind through many books and hence will help your vocab indirectly.
There are some books recommended for improving vocab specifically at the end of chapter 2.
@@adityashah5597 thanks, I'm going to get that book.
Is there anything about philosophy in the book??? By the way, you're so intelligent and well read. I hope your book will help me get there.
There are a few works, mixed in to the history and science sections.
Do you mean Human Species? Dont let Franz Boaz get to your head, it's not a social construct. ;)
