About this title

Synopsis

From the authors of the now-classic Accelerated Learning comes a brilliant culmination of their groundbreaking ideas. Accelerated Learning for the 21st Century unveils a revolutionary new six-step program that shows you how to develop the core success skills of the twenty-first century--learning faster, remembering more, thinking creatively--skills that can be put to immediate use by individuals as diverse as school children and corporate executives.

Because of today's unprecedented speed of change, it is becoming increasingly difficult to predict what skills will be useful in ten years--in most professions, knowledge is doubling every few years--and no job is forever. As a result, being employable means being flexible and retraining regularly. Accelerated Learning for the 21st Century offers a simple, proven-effective plan that delivers the one key skill every working person, parent, and student must master and every teacher must teach: Learning how to learn and how to think creatively. This extraordinary work shows us how we can learn better--by using the revolutionary MASTER-Mind system.

Accelerated Learning for the 21st Century incorporates a decade of remarkable research findings by eminent neuroscientists and educational psychologists--such as the theory of eight multiple intelligences and the value of emotion for memory--as well as examples from the successful experiences worldwide of accelerated learners of all ages. And it puts forth a clear vision of how the United States can dramatically improve the educational system to remain competitive in the next century.
