A new paradigm
We used this book in a life-long learning class which was part of our MAed program. The whole class (8) was struck with the first half. He's tough on conventional learning, but leads us back to the childhood interest in learning which is not self-conscious, but just grows out of being a child. A book that is thought-provoking and provides a framework for change.

excellent insights about the new ages in front of us
The author presented a very well developed imagination about what types of world and society is coming to us and what tasks we should prepare for. The seven traits of LWB(learning as a way of being) were excellently contrasted with the present paradigms of education which we must overcome. I wish the author or else could go further into the possible and more concrete pictcures of educational system in comparison with the present public and state educational system, represented by the schools.
