School of You

Make no mistake: Learning is Survival. You must become your own learning curator. If you want to create the next killer app or rise quickly in your company, you have to become a Guerrilla Learner. That's the message from Myra Travin, Post-Futurist, LX Designer, and author of the new release, "School of You: Stop the Overload, Become a Guerrilla Learner and Change Your Life." Her book teaches you how to personalize your own learning, to discover your potential, and to exceed expectations. It's also a shot across the bow to systems of learning and bad UX design that get in between learners and their experience. "When learners take charge of their own learning-no matter whether they are in school, have a job or don't, or are a 12-year-old wanting to implement a brilliant new startup idea-my book gives them the golden ticket," Travin says. In the equation of technology and learner, Travin believes the key element is how humans develop a relationship with the tool they are using and how together they co-create a future state of resourcefulness. "The music is not in the piano, but in the interaction between user and technology," she says. "In other words: Learners First."
