Polymath (Peter Hollins)
Why it’s on the list: Hollins’s practical self-teaching manual for working across disciplines — the how-to counterpart to the histories and manifestos that share the title.
Where I saw it: Recommended by @oprydai on X (August 25, 2025): “If you’re the kind of person who hates being boxed into one lane. engineers who dabble in philosophy, artists curious about physics, or students who want to learn beyond the syllabus.” One of three same-titled books now on this list — see also The Polymath (Waqas Ahmed) and The Polymath (Peter Burke).
Connections
- Polymath — the idea.
- The Polymath (Peter Burke) — the cultural history, saved from the same account two days later.
- The Polymath — Waqas Ahmed’s manifesto of the same name.
