Learn to Grow Shorts: Long Life Learning by Michelle Weise

This week’s episode comes in the form of a reading recommendation! In our most recent episode we discussed the fact that learning can’t simply take place at the beginning of our “careers” it has to happen throughout. That is exactly the point Michelle Weise makes in her excellent book “Long Life Learning”. Weise highlights the fact that our careers now span 60 years or more and that our systems of education were never designed for continuous learning. Her book looks at the status quo and suggests a new model for a learning ecosystem that supports continuous, lifelong learning. Thanks for listening!
