The intellectual category is one of the most often overlooked categories in your life. It is quite common to neglect our own intellect and abilities for other categories such as our relationships or our finances. Your intellectual life includes your level of knowledge about the world and technology around you as well as the skills you need to be a valued employee and member of society.

As far as ThePrysm.com is concerned, here is what we will classify as the different aspects of your intellectual life:

Your intellectual life has a direct impact on the other categories of your life.
