His endorsement of the classical studies led to his teaching the of Great Books of the Western World, which he thought was the best avenue to a well-rounded education. If you own a set of Encyclopedia Britannica's Great Books of the Western World, you'll see Adler's name as associate editor. He wrote both volumes of the Great Ideas syntopicon that begin the series.
This book centers on the professional, rather than the personal, more so than the average autobiography. It's quite philosophical. Adler makes you think about different propositions as he reveals his discovery of certain knowledge. He's quick to point out his mistakes of youth, and he shares many stories of how his own lack of tact alienated him from his colleagues and other important people. He's mellowed much with age and has become more and more respected within his field. It's a very honest recap of a long and productive life. I would recommend it to anyone with an interest in philosophy, the great books, or liberal arts education.
