The Fall of the Human Intellect

By A. Parthasarathy

In Person Weekly Ongoing

The Fall of the Human Intellect book photograph

Mind, Intellect, and Clear Decision-Making

Modern education develops intelligence—the acquisition of academic information—but often overlooks the development of the intellect. The intellect is your inner capacity to think, reason, judge, and decide objectively. Without a strong intellect, we are easily led by the impulses, moods, and habits of the mind.

This weekly class provides a structured study of how to develop a strong, clear intellect. By learning to distinguish between the mind and the intellect, you will cultivate the clarity needed to make sound decisions in your work, relationships, and overall well-being.
