The Self-Made Mind is a call-to-arms to all who would reject allowing their minds to be pacified as the vessel into which the infinite amounts of information can be dumped. In a world where there seem to be ready-made answers, infinite scrolls, and pre-packaged expert opinions. This book is not about the renunciation of knowledge-it is about revamping it. It refutes the myths of power, the delusion of competency, and the passive ease, and a direction of autonomy, mastery, and self-created action. With economy, artistry, and breadth of vision, it defines the risks of intellectual dependency and demonstrates the means to rouse inquisitiveness, nurture intent, and foster an art of profound, thoughtful study. This book will guide the reader through the problems of the consumer, into the process of self-teaching, and onto the paradoxes of mastery, where struggle, repetition, and imperfection become forces of strength. The progress of a self-made mind is no cake. It requires personal milestones, pain, and discomfort, as well as the ability to grapple with ambiguity. But it also holds the prospect of the most valuable prize, freedom To those who seek, to makers of new things and thinkers, and to all who are not content to live on secondhand ideas, this book will be a challenge to action, and a behest to come and take possession of one of the truest measures of freedom which man can know-- that of being the author of his own mind.
