A capacity, and taste, for reading, gives access to whatever has already been discovered by others.

Most adults make plans for their careers, finances, and health, but give little thought to their education after formal schooling ends. This project explores a different approach: lifelong, self-directed education grounded in structure, intellectual breadth, and active engagement with serious books. It treats learning not as a phase of life, but as an ongoing practice — one that cultivates understanding, judgment, and the ability to think clearly in a complex and changing world.
