The Guerrilla Scholar’s Handbook: A guide to the pursuit of learning for pleasure, empowerment, and changing the world. 

How to join the ranks of independent scholars, citizen scientists, recovering academics, makers, artists, activists, and other intellectual ne’er-do-wells pursuing a life of the mind—and changing the world.

Sheldon Greaves completed a Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley in ancient Near Eastern Studies on a shoestring while living and working in Silicon Valley during the dot.com boom. Facing a sparse academic job market after graduating, he developed an unconventional approach to a life of the mind, what he calls “guerrilla scholarship”. Among his adventures was starting an educational software business, promoting science literacy in the nonprofit sector, publishing in his field, and co-founding the first private university designed to offer degree programs to members of the intelligence community. “The Guerrilla Scholar’s Handbook” is about how regular people can enjoy a life of the mind outside of academia and enrich their communities along the way.
