Riassunto

 This book is about continuous leaning.  In today's world, we are all managers - of our own productivity and probably that of others.  Success at work depends not so much on what we already know but on how much, how quickly and how effectively we can learn.  Learning can and should be something to be relished - a real source of joy, excitement and satisfaction.Learn for your Life gathers together the messages that are central to learning and empowerment for individuals, organizations and society in the 21st century.  Issues and ideas tackled in Learn for you Life include:

• Are you aware how you learn? Do you seize opportunities, whenever and wherever they arise?
• How can you ensure that you have the right learning tools for the right job?
• What are the 3 Es - economy, empowerment and enjoyment - and how do they offer a challenge to the traditional 3 Rs?
• How can you ensure that you are both selective and critical about the knowledge you acquire?
• Creativity is constantly called upon in the workplace. What are the new ideas about the links between creativity and learning?
