Learning After School: A Guide for Autodidacts with 14 illustrative independent learning programs

by Loren Hazelwood

People who teach themselves outside the traditional school systems are called autodidacts. All graduates are forced to become autodidacts when they find there are more things they need to learn than were covered in school. This is a guidebook to help people organize and carry out autodidactic programs to meet their specific needs. It describes the efforts of 12 famous autodidacts in American history, discusses the attitudes, skills, and resources needed, offers twelve principles of autodidactics, and presents 14 programs to illustrate how one can economically and efficiently continue to learn independently without going back to school.
