A free public school

School left this part out.

School teaches a subject. It does not teach you how to talk to people, use money, stay healthy, or get back up when you fail. This school is a list of books for that. You read them in order, easy ones first.

The idea

Why I started this school.

School and college taught me a subject. They never taught me how to talk to people, use money, or get back up when I failed. I had to find those books on my own. Most people never find them. So I put them in one place, in an order you can follow.

Read about two books a month. Easy books first. A 14-year-old does not start with investing. That comes later. Some early books are stories, because a story is easier to remember than a rule.

It is free. No login. No exam. You finish a book by reading it. Later there may be a short quiz of about 20 questions, just so you can check that you understood it.

Spiritually more awake

You will read the Gita, Autobiography of a Yogi, and other books about life, not just a job.

Mentally harder to break

You learn habits and how your mind works, so a bad day does not knock you down as easily.

Practically ahead

People, money, health, and how to build something. Normal school usually skips all of this.

Who it is for

For anyone who will actually keep reading.

Best if you start young

Fourteen is a good age to begin. If you finish while you are still young, you start work or college knowing things most people learn too late.

You can start at any age

Starting at 40 or 50 is fine. The books still help. They help more when you have more years left to use what you learn.

For people who already try

This is not a program that pushes you. It is a second education, next to your school, your job, or the skill you are already building.

The advantage

You will know things most people never read.

Most people learn one skill and stop. If you finish these books, you have more ways to deal with a problem. You know a bit about people, money, health, and your own mind.

These are not secret tricks. Someone else already made the mistakes and wrote them down. If you read them in order, for years, they add up. Normal school does not give you this list.

Nobody can promise you will be rich or famous. You get the list. You still have to read it.

It asks for more reading.

A normal school year gives you a textbook and a test. Here you read about two books a month, for many years. Philosophy, money, health, work, and people. School treats most of that as optional.

But there is no exam.

Nothing to pass. No grades. No account. You either read the book or you did not. Mark it when you finish. That note stays on this device. The book list stays open for everyone.
