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 earned a Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley while living and working in Silicon Valley ibefore the dot.com bust. Pursuing his doctorate on a shoestring and divergent interests led him to develop a different approach to intellectual work. Throughout his long and varied career, Sheldon has used the tools of “guerrilla scholarship” to do interesting intellectual work outside of academia.
