How can we cultivate the habits and discipline required for a life of learning, especially in an age of distraction? And is such a life really worth it?

Zena Hitz, humanities scholar and author of Lost in Thought: The Hidden Pleasures of an Intellectual Life, argues that few experiences are as formative and fulfilling as the cultivation of a rich inner life of learning and contemplation.

On Friday, September 16 at 1:30 p.m. ET, we held an Online Conversation with St. John's College Tutor Zena Hitz who offered a compelling reminder of the intrinsic value of learning as a means for renewing ourselves and, in turn, our communities.
