I've been devouring Charlotte Mason's education series, but her fourth book in the series, "Ourselves", is not about education at all - at least, not in the traditional sense. It turns to the subject of character growth and development and explores how to be a virtuous, intelligent and well-rounded person. I'll be talking about her ideas here throughout the week, and we'll start by discussing the House of Mind (others being Body, Heart and Spirit), the different areas of study and intellectual development, and the traps we can get stuck in along the way.

Thanks for joining, and subscribe for new episodes Monday-Friday!
