"If you forgot everything you learned in college, you'll forget thi accumulation of of glib answers even faster."
First of all this is a b-o-r i-n-g book. It's a drag to read. The superficial information provided in the book will provide you with a wealth of facts to fool people into thiking that you are extremely knowledgeabe when you are not. If you hang out at cocktail parties this will help your image with the wealthy inebriated. You might even get someone to start an affair with you. In the end though they'd find out that you know next to nothing about everything. That may not bother the "cultured" members of the social elite if you are able to be sufficiently glib and keep moving the conversation to various subjects quickly. Cultured people read and think deeply and savour the beauty of music, the natural world, art and literature. They enjoy discovering new writers or ones that may be largely forgotten. They may prefer to sit under a tree in a park or in their backyard and think and watch the world around them. They often enjoy meandering through the world of ideas and reading and thinking about new ideas or experiences, but if you're determined to impress others with shallow knowledge to score points with your friends and weazle yourself into the "cultured class," this is the book for you. Be prepared though for a boring and tedious read that won't leave you any wiser.

"But Is It Accurate?"
I am enjoying the Intellectual Devotional, though I am troubled when I come across screaming errors like "Marie Antoinette said 'Let them eat cake.'" I can't imagine any serious historian would miss this error, so how qualified were the editors? And if the information is wrong, what is the point of the book?

"Interesting Book"
I enjoy this book very much. Yes, there are some factual errors, but I haven't read a non-fiction book yet that hasn't had errors. I think that despite some of the typographical errors, and some facts that are a bit questionable, I'm better of reading it and having exposure to a vast array of subjects, than not, and it has certainly been enjoyable.

"Exactly as advertised"
Great Book...It is exactly as it states, one page;one new topic. All so far are very interesting. This seems like it would be a great textbook for some class. Only thing I would tell prospective buyers...print/font is extremely small. I don't wear glasses or have eye issues and I was shocked at how small the print was. Main points of each topic are in 10 font (estimate), then each subsequent section of each topic is in smaller and smaller font. If you have any issues with reading small print you will need a magnifing glass or some similair produc to read this book. But it is very interesting.

"great book "
i love reading this book every chance i get. you learn something new every page. very detailed and great book to share with your kids(10 and up).a great trivia book,even. well written and it makes you a better / well-rounded jeopardy contestant. get you one!

What our customer's say!

"Invest 3 minutes a day in this book", What a nice treat this book is. You only need 2-3 minutes to work through each daily reading. The topics are varied. It is well-written. The authors approach the topics from a "101 level". The additional facts content (bottom of most entries) are often filled with unique nuggets. It's a nice refresher or primer for those interested in expanding their understanding of the fields of music, art, philosophy, religion, science, etc. Makes a great gift too.

"Wonderful!", Bought this as retirement gift for a friend. Absolutely would recommend to anyone who wants a different morning meditation. Great book.

"Exellent", A great book to have around. Learned a lot of things I never knew, while aloso expanding my knowledge of things I had some knowledge of. Enjoyed it very much.

"Not what I intended to order.", The Intellectual Devotional: American History: Revive Your Mind, Complete Your Education, and Converse Confidently about Our Nation's Past THIS IS WHAT I THOUGHT I ORDERED (RED BINDING)

I don't know how it happened, but I received the wrong Intellectual Devotional (The Intellectual Devotional: Revive Your Mind, Complete Your Education, and Roam Confidently with the Cultured Class) I didn't realize it until looking more closely it had a green binding.

I RETURNED THE 4 COPIES OF THE I D: REVIVE YOUR MIND AND ASKED FOR AN EXCHANGE OF 4 I D; AMERICAN HISTORY.

I HAVE BOUGHT SEVERAL THINGS ON AMAZON AND THIS IS THE ONLY TIME I'VE RECEIVED THE WRONG ITEM. I HOPE I WILL RECEIVE THE ONES I WANTED OR MY MONEY RETURNED.

"Each Day A New Topic Weekly.", When Pontius Pilate sentenced Jesus Christ to death by crucifixion, he let the crowd choose Barabbas go free. The chalice which Jesus used at the Last Supper with his disciples is believed to be the Holy Grail.

David was a heroic warrior who defeated the giant Goliah. The fictional Mark looks a lot like the statue of David and also Rodin's the Thinker.

Melody in music is called the tune; it can be played on one instrument or many, along with harmony and rhythm. Music may start with a melody, but harmony is what gives it color. First there was chamber music, church music, and theater music. Then we had opera, ballet, and symphony. Mark is determined to play with a band, God be with him. The classical period followed the baroque, which preceded the romantic and lasted from 1750 (the death of Johann Sebastian Bach) to about 1827 (Ludwig van Beethoven's death). Beethoven was considered to be the greatest composer of all and a musical genius. He was Western music's first great musical personality. At his funeral in 1827, Franz Schubert carried a torch in mourning. He died a year later.

Sleep is as crucial to our survival as food, water, and shelter. We spend one-third of our lives unconscious in sleep. A healthy human can survive without eating for more than a month. They die without sleep in less than two weeks. Epistemology is the branch of philosophy that deals with knowledge. Plato tried to define just what knowledge is. It has been defined as true, justified belief.

"Great book filled with interesting facts", This is a great book and easy read. I can't believe no one came up with this concept earlier. The topics are very interesting and informative. I often find it hard to only read one per day. Highly recommend this to anyone.

"expand your knowledge", This book is fun and interesting, it gives knowledge on seven different subjects, and stirs your imagination.

"Do you love facts, then you will love this book", This book provides a quick way for other information junkies such as myself to quickly learn about something new each an every day. It is cleverly written, and put into a format that brings you all over the spectrum of both useful and useless (but fun) information. I highly recommend this book.

"Good daily reading", Haven't finished it yet but I like the way it puts history in prospective. I know most have learned this in school and movies but this relates to the times better.

"Good idea but economic devotionals lack balance", The authors have Karl Marx explain capitalism but there is not a word about Adam Smith and his great classic "Wealth of Nations". Not even in the very tiny print as far as I can tell. I only subtract one star, because I don't know if the exclusion of Adam Smith was intentional.
