Synopsis
"Fr. Sertillanges's teachings are as timeless as any truths which describe the genuine nature of things. . . . This book is highly recommended not only for intellectuals, but also for students and those discerning their vocation in life."―New Oxford Review
"[This] is above all a practical book. It discusses with a wealth of illustration and insight such subjects as the organization of the intellectual worker's time, materials, and his life; the integration of knowledge and the relation of one's specialty to general knowledge; the choice and use of reading; the discipline of memory; the taking of notes, their classification and use; and the preparation and organization of the final production."―The Sign

"I would put The Intellectual Life on the desk of every serious student, and most of the unserious ones. . . . We should read through this classic book, make its teachings ours after our own manner. Adapting what Sertillanges suggests to our own computer, to our own books, to our own hours of the day or night should be no problem. The book will have an abiding, concrete effect on our lives. If we follow its outlines, it will make us alive in that inner, curious, delightful way that is connoted by the words in the book's magnificent title--The Intellectual Life. I see no reason for settling for anything less. The great French Dominican still teaches us how to learn, but only if we are free enough to let him teach us."-from the Foreword by James V. Schall, S.J.

Paper Back
Seller: Eighth Day Books, LLC, Wichita, KS, U.S.A.
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paper Back. Condition: New. This work, reprinted many times over since its appearance in 1920, both instructs and ennobles. It treats of virtually every aspect of the life of the mind and the cultivation of the virtues and habits of life that are its prerequisites. Insofar, it instructs. Yet it does so in a manner that unfailingly awakens high aspiration. ''The life of study,'' writes Sertillanges, ''pays, it pays richly; but it exacts an initial outlay that few are capable of. The athletes of the mind, like those of the playing field, must be prepared for privations, long training, a sometimes superhuman tenacity. We must give ourselves from the heart, if truth is to give itself to us. Truth serves only its slave.'' This book is nothing less than an enchiridion for those who would pledge fealty to this most generous of taskmasters, and in so doing think God's thoughts after Him. Seller Inventory # 236774
