He was in the University of Washington but never took a formal degree preferring to learn by experience.The writing of Herbert was unique in that he combined ecology, politics and human psychology in storytelling. He was patient and disciplined in his writing habit, and frequently spent many hours in research and thought before commencing his writing.His personal life was not as successful as it became in his financial life.
