In this series of videos Amno founder Mez shows you how to create mind maps and a memory palace to learn by heart the titles from Charles Eliot's "The Harvard Classics" (1909) a.k.a. 'the five foot shelf'.
---> This project may be of interest to students and life-long learners wanting to orient themselves and get a foot in the door, so to speak, in the realm of the humanities, be it out of intellectual curiosity, to further their education, or for general purposes of self-improvement. And you don't have to pay thousands of dollars in tuition fees to do it, just sub to our channel so you're notified of future videos!
N.B. No dogmatic claim about the validity of Eliot's selection, or of any particular definition of the humanities, is implied here. This is a memory project pure and simple, it either interests you or it doesn't -- if it doesn't, check out some of our other videos, we cover a range of topics!

About Charles Eliot's 'five foot shelf' (from advert for 1918 Cambridge edition):
'What are the few great books - biographies, histories, novels, dramas, poems, books of science and travel, philosophy and religion that liberalize and inspire the mind, and lead busy men and women to a clearer way of thinking, greater personal power, wider influence among their fellows?
Dr. Charles W. Eliot, from his lifetime of reading, study and teaching - forty years of it as President of Harvard University - has answered that question for us in the Harvard Classics.
"It is my belief," says Dr. Eliot, "that the faithful and considerate reading of these books will give any man the essentials of a liberal education even if he can devote to them but fifteen minutes a day."'
