Book Reviews of The Independent Scholar's Handbook
Book Review: A great one
Summary: 5 Stars
The original edition of this book literally changed my life. In addition to the sound and very detailed advice and suggestions Gross offers in this book (see the review below), his account of the many 'un-certified' experts who've advanced human progress over the centuries gave me the courage to chart my own course in life. The result? Tremendous personal satisfaction, real intellectual freedom, recognition in my profession and - as a nice bonus - a whole lot more money that I would have made I remained a cog in the wheel.
Yes, you too can make a significant contribution to the world without being annointed an 'institution.'
This is a brilliant and vastly underrated masterpiece.
