STUDY IS NOTHING OTHER THAN asking questions, all the way down. Real questions—ones that challenge us—lead us to the edge of the known and keep us alive with inquiry.

So I ask you to consider: What principles guide your life? What do you turn to in times of distress? What shapes your understanding of this world and your place in it? Such questions propel us into a deep exploration of our assumptions, of what’s most valued by us, and of what intrigues and challenges us.

This is the essence of study—not collecting facts, creating a dry abstraction of reality, or narrowing our vision to what we think is right or wrong.
