Summary: In their challenging book the authors offer a radical approach to personal and organisational growth. Their new science of human learning uses reflective procedures called Learning Conversations to enable individuals of all ages, backgrounds and disciplines to become more aware of their own learning processes, to challenge the robots within, and those personal myths which often disable them as learners. By sef-organising their learning they achieve insights resulting in improved attitudes and outcomes in study and work, greater personal confidence and innovativeness,a nd and enhanced capacity to learn. This deeply personal yet systematic approach offers greater opportunities for self-responsibility and for the development of skills, competence and creativity.
