"In this masterful account, the fruit of a lifetime of pondering education and society, Herbert Kohl has given us a stunning gift. I know of no other book by a great teacher that is as deeply honest or as transcendently humble. All the impediments and humorous distractions and quiet breakthroughs that go into the process of learning are here uncovered." --Phillip Lopate "Moving and perceptive--a delightful, engaging memoir on aging." --Kirkus Reviews
