The Intellectual Life by A.G. Sertillanges

Books of Titans Podcast

Love the eternal books that express eternal truths. ~ A.G. Sertillanges

Have you found yourself lost in mid-life? Not sure what direction to take? No focus or purpose? This is a book about continuing intellectual curiosity throughout life, of lifelong learning. It’s a book with practical advice on how to pursue the life of the mind. I wish I had read this book in my teens.

The author, A.G. Sertillanges, says this life is possible with just two hours a day. But what you quickly realize is that dedicating those two hours will permeate the rest of your life, even your sleep!

In this episode, I share the three main ideas that stuck out to me, share some advice found throughout the book, and highlight the one thing that hit me the most. I hope you enjoy. But more than that, I hope you end up reading this book.
