The Fall of the Human Intellect

The best introduction to the whole subject: what the intellect is, why it has been neglected, and how to build it.

Stress, depression and disease in individuals, and militancy, vandalism and terrorism in societies, trace back to one neglect: the human intellect. The book sets out the difference between intelligence, which is acquired from schools and universities, and the intellect, which is developed by your own effort in thinking, reasoning and questioning before accepting anything.

It is written to develop the intellect, and it is the first of the eleven books in reading order. Most people in the community started here.
