This is an introduction to Dorothy L Sayers advice on how to educate yourself and to find out the best tools for learning which have been lost by the modern education system.
Hi, thank you for sharing your thoughts on this important topic. I have an 8 year old son in private school but I would like to supplement his education to ensure it's complete. Based on your recommendation, I will give this paper a read so I can discern how best to help him develop. Thanks again, from Vermont, USA!
Hi Mr.Davies, found this really interesting and agree with the argument presented. How would you suggest acquiring the tools independently to repair the deficit from my education thus far. For context I am a first year law student at UCL. Many Thanks.
I was once a first year student at UCL, so I know what that is like. What I realised is that courses are very narrow, so if you want to be truly educated then you have to take responsibility to widen your education yourself. No one else will do it for you. So you need to read as much as you can get your hands on. Get hold of the classic book, writers who have thought the best thoughts over all of history. Get the best thinkers, the best philosophers, the best novels, the best of everything and read it and make it your own. Take your own education seriously and plan your reading. You will soon find within a year or so you are far more educated than your fellow students and more educated than your lecturers. You can do it. You have a lifetime. Don't waste it.

Found your video on a search, but ordered a copy of Dorothy Sayers book "Lost Tools of Learning" before you finished. :)
I hope you find it as useful as I have
