Millions
of Americans keep bedside books of prayer and meditative reflection—collections of daily passages to stimulate spiritual
thought and advancement. The Intellectual Devotional is a secular version
of the same—a collection of 365 lessons that will inspire and
invigorate the reader every day of the year. Each nugget of wisdom
is drawn from one of seven fields of knowledge: History, Literature,
Philosophy, Mathematics & Science, Religion, Visual Arts, and Music.
Impress your friends by explaining the meaning of Platos’ “Cave
Allegory,” pepper your cocktail party conversation with opera
terms, solve math problems using the FOIL method. These lessons range
from important passages in literature to basic principles of physics,
from pivotal events in history to images of famous paintings with accompanying
analysis. The book’s goal is to refresh knowledge you’ve
forgotten, bring to light fresh insights, and exercise modes of thinking
that are ordinarily neglected once our school days are behind us. Offering
an escape from the daily grind to contemplate higher things, The Intellectual
Devotional is a great way to awaken in the morning or recharge oneself
before retiring in the evening.
