License to Learn

Book excerpt: Life is an adventurous and winding road, and License to Learn delivers a flexible and intriguing map so that you can navigate your own unique journey. With this map, you are invited to see life's experiences-some chosen, some not-differently, and to make meaning from them in new ways. The key is that the so-called "comfort zone" is truly not the place to be when you want to learn, grow, or develop-except as a place to rest and reflect before heading "out" again. License to Learn aims to improve your ability to learn from your own life experience, and the genre-breaking format will lure you in with true tales of all kinds to use as examples. With this map as your guide, you can change your relationship to discomfort. And you can become your own best teacher.
