Unstoppable You: Adopt the New Learning 4.0 Mindset and Change Your Life
<!--[if gte mso 9]> <![endif]--> Never Stop Learning The ticket to a successful and fulfilling life is a significant upgrade to everyone’s ability to learn. Visionary teacher and lifelong learner Patricia McLagan views learning ability as software for processing daily life. And like all software, learning software require upgrades—and regular reboots! In Unstoppable Adopt the New Learning 4.0 Mindset and Change Your Life , McLagan shares her method for keeping learning powers sharp, ensuring that we can continuously advance and adapt in a nonstop world. We’re born with basic programming, which is learning 1.0. We then evolve and upgrade as we make our way through the education system in learning 2.0, and we start to self-manage how we learn as we integrate our diverse experiences and master skills in learning 3.0. That brings us to learning 4.0—learning mastery. This final upgrade equips us with survival skills for the 21st century— skills essential to meeting our goals in a world that’s always in motion. Discover McLagan’s seven practices for effective lifelong learning—from hearing and heeding calls to learn, to taking steps to translate new skills into action. Unstoppable You also includes a complete toolkit of supporting templates, guides, and tips. Unstoppable You is the handbook to your dynamic future. Begin actively shaping your success in fast-changing times today.

About the author
Patricia (Pat) McLagan
14 books3 followersI love to help individuals and organizations evolve and change. It’s my life’s work. I do it by generating practical insights about learning, change and transformation from research, study, and experience. Then I share them with people who want to influence change in themselves and their organizations. I have put these ideas into consulting, articles, apps, courses, books, speeches hoping that the ideas and practices spread and multiply, making life and organizations better and committed to a better future for our human family.
For a half-century, I’ve worked in partnership with large, global organizations and with government entities and Universities as they faced turbulent times. I’ve lived in and worked on change challenges in South Africa before, during and after the end of Apartheid. I've held leadership roles in the Minneapolis United Way, the Association for Talent Development, the Desmond Tutu Peace Foundation, the Instructional Systems Association, and the International Adult and Continuing Education Hall of Fame. I’ve received awards from these and other institutions.
In this later stage of my life, I am focusing on sharing practical tips and insights to accelerate personal learning and change, drawing on an integrated and science-based approach I call SMART Learning 4.0. Learning is a meta-capability -- a skill and mindset that affects all skills. It is the vital force for ensuring that in work and in life, people everywhere can and will co-evolve with technology and become the best humans they can be -- successfully riding the waves of our turbulent times. For all of us, our learning needs a significant upgrade to deal with today's and tomorrow's challenges. Technology is getting smarter, so can we!
And, because I feel it is imperative to be active in today's turbulent and fast changing society, I am also writing about formal institutional power -- how it benefits and how it corrupts. We are at a turning point in society where ethical and stewarding leadership is sorely needed. We all share in the responsibility to ensure we only support leaders who will help make the future better -- and, if we are leaders, to be aware of and responsible for our power as we create the conditions and institutions that we are leaving to our children.

للأسف الكتاب لايعبر عن عنوانه ولا فكرة مؤخرة الغلاف ، معلومات مرصوصه دون ان يكون هناك استراتيجيه من الكاتبه لايضاح خطوات معينه تعين الراغب في التعلم ، مجرد معلومات تخص العلم لاي حد وصل والتكنولوجيا وانواع الذات .. يشعرك بالملل
