The Well-Educated Mind: A Guide to the Classical Education You Never Had Review: There's more than there appears to be - Don’t let the spine fool you—Susan Wise Bauer has mastered the art of optical illusions. The Well-Educated Mind is jam-packed with information. Clear reading lists and down-to-earth guidance turn centuries of great books into an accessible roadmap for any self-taught reader. Review: Great Guide for Self-Education - Ms. Bauer certainly knows the material and she has designed a very thorough and intensive study program for those that want to obtain a classical education without spending the money and time to obtain one through a traditional brick-and-mortar graduate program. To be successful in the program that she lays out you must have a reading partner who is willing to do all the reading, journal his or her reactions, answer all the questions for each book, and meet with you to discuss. It's a commitment for you and your study buddy, but one that is well worth it. My only complaint is that Ms. Bauer details the study plan in several places throughout the introductory chapters and each time there are either new elements or some that seem to conflict with what she stated previously. I found it helpful to type up a document that combined and resolved some of the aforementioned issues and that listed the steps in an easy to follow format. That being said, I would still recommend this book to anyone that is serious about obtaining a classical education. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #118,735 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #3 in Education Bibliographies & Indexes #4 in Literary Bibliographies & Indexes #39 in Adult & Continuing Education (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 364 Reviews | ## Images ![The Well-Educated Mind: A Guide to the Classical Education You Never Had - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ndUpLXLgL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ There's more than there appears to be *by J***T on May 19, 2025* Don’t let the spine fool you—Susan Wise Bauer has mastered the art of optical illusions.
