In this remarkable little book, Will Durant answers the questions that most people would have wanted to ask him - what are the conclusions he drew from the experience of a long lifetime; what eras, individuals, and achievements stand out as being the most significant? Who, for example, could be legitimately classified as the greatest thinkers in human history? Who were the truly great poets, the ones that plucked notes upon heartstrings that continue to resonate hundreds and thousands of years after their passing? And what are the absolute best books one should read in order to receive a meaningful - and useful - education? As Will Durant was repeatedly asked to "weigh in" on such matters, he, over the course of his career, responded to the increasing public demand for such qualified assessments by putting pen to paper and crafting a series of essays containing his personal rankings of human achievement. These essays have been brought together for the first time in this book.

If you are a Durant fan, this book will not disappoint. If you have never read Durant but are drawn to it because of its title, take the plunge...read it. Durant's writing style is unique but don't expect to speed read this book and retain much of value. Durant is like great whiskey sipped, savored, contemplated, remembered. If you don't drink whiskey, then Durant is like the Grand Canyon...he'll be there tomorrow but he'll read differently but it will always be wonderful.
