The Art of Self-Directed Learning is a collection of 23 stories and insights that will help you become a more motivated and self-guided learner. Drawing on a decade of research, adventures, and interviews conducted by Blake Boles (author of College Without High School and Better Than College), this book will inspire you to craft your own unconventional education, no matter whether you're a young adult, recent graduate, parent, or simply someone who never wants to stop learning. Each chapter is brief, story-oriented, and accompanied by an original line drawing, making The Art of Self-Directed Learning a great choice for readers and "non-readers" alike.

This book read like a brochure to a summer camp. While I find reading about various methods of education very interesting, I felt there was no “art” to Blake‘s tips at all. I was expecting something along the lines of “The Teenage Liberation Handbook” and instead received Blake‘s personal memoir. This would of been fine had it been marketed as such. Overall it just wasn‘t for me.
