What reading level is Making the Most of One's Mind book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

If^ on the other hand, [223] Making the Most of Ones Mind the lecture is an inspirational one and depends upon its excellent expression, then in its written form it will lack that personal vivacity that the lecture- room makes possible. In this case the student during the delivery would have to miss the thing that gave the lecture its main value, in order to be able at his leisure afterwards to get its purely secondary value.
What gives a lecture its importance as compared with an essay is that
... in the lecture we are brought into the actual presence of a man who is at home in the particular subject that he is dealing with. If we spend our whole time, then, in writing down what he is saying, we lose the only thing that justifies our preferring the lecture to a published work.
Still it may well be that as a mere matter of com- municating knowledge the lecture may occasionally occupy a specially commanding position. It may contain matter that is not to be obtained elsewhere.
In this case it is obviously necessary to write down this special matter in order to make it our own.
