recommend this book
"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

“Many writers today have a system: every system is a pose, and every pose is an insult to beauty. Cultivate the art of omission, of elimination, of implication: that is the secret of strength.” —A. G. Sertillanges, The Intellectual Life: Its Spirit, Conditions, Methods (1921)

"the English translation of Frenchman A. G. Sertillanges’ The Intellectual Life: Its Spirit, Conditions, Methods can give a native English speaker the feeling of having just coiffed either a heady Bordeaux or an intoxicating elixir handed down from an intellectual god." https://t.co/nZpUvaadlT
