Do you teach? Do you manage? Do you inspire? Do you sell? If the answer is yes
to any of these or similar duties, then at least part of your job description
or self-chosen pathway will likely include encouraging learning by your
students, workers, followers, customers. This book can serve as a resource
guide, providing you insight into the processes and barriers involved when
those in your charge attempt to improve their understanding. This in turn can
provide you with tools for improving your own learning, the key to growth and
improvement in your relationships with those you have come to guide. Not only
will you gain empathy for those you lead, you will also become a better
learner. Is there an answer to the question, Why are we here? We think so. Our
answer is, To learn. It is what we do, likely beginning in the womb. We never
break the habit until death, or, perhaps death occurs when we break the habit.
To Learn aims multiple lenses at learning, each returning an image (a partial
representation/ reflection) of the complex human endeavor that represents our
reason for being here.
