Don't Go Back to School: A Handbook for Learning Anything

True rating 3.5.

This is a solid read. It is chalked full of words I wanted to write down, to keep always at my call for those times I need some words. I had high expectations for the book and it didn't live up to them entirely. I didn't go to college/university, but I seek to always be active in my journey through self-education in this world. I was hoping to hear more from people who went entirely unconventional in their path by not receiving a higher education from the public forum. While many in this book didn't seek out a normal career path they did still go to college of some sort. I wanted encouragement in that realm more, perhaps selfishly, for my own life. Please don't be swayed from reading this because while it didn't show more completely fit for what I looking for, it has so much information! I will be keeping it for sure and referencing it. I'm hoping to pass it on to others in my circle too. show less

Inspirational and practical for this Jacky's homeschool family. Can't wait to dive deeper into some of the resources. In the meantime, it was a great look at self-directed learners and learning communities.

Very readable tips.
