The Failure of American Education via Textbooks | Ep. 14 Devan Rohrich Podcast

The number of textbooks that I have read, cover to cover, is zero. That is likely true for many of you as well, whether you have a high school diploma or a Ph.D. We need to go beyond textbooks if we really want to learn something. I imagine that more people would care about learning if it wasn't so clinical and reductionistic.

Today, I discuss the impact textbook learning has had on all of us and the fact that we need to reintroduce great books. Great books take us on a journey—it is often painful when we read something truly great, but we are always better for it. The best books that we can read are books that challenge us, not arbitrarily like textbooks, and call from within us something greater.
