This book has some good essays! Some will stay with me for the emotional punch that Hillman landed. Some got me thinking about something I'd never thought about before.

But the essays are not organized in a way that makes much sense - they don't thematically build on each other and feel random in their order. The tonal whiplash makes for a tough read. Some of the essays are needlessly confusing. It makes me feel like the book wasn't edited. Little things like how two different essays are titled "Education" add up to feeling like this isn't a finished product.
