"They will stretch your thinking, stir your soul, and maybe even offer some startling insights on what to cook for dinner tonight. We created this list out of thousands of recommendations from authors, activists, professors, book club members, spiritual teachers, and bemused observers of the human condition. It’s offered not as a checklist to measure your intellectual standing, but as an inspiration, to give you an incentive to pursue your own blissful course of study.

"The real value of self-learning is that it connects you with a whole web of knowledge, each new discovery moving you in the direction of further insights. That’s why every one of the main selections here points to another work we’ve listed, which of course will lead you to more and more. Please let us know where this list takes you, and what else you would include."
