Unbounded learning: how to unshackle your education
unbounded learning embraces the never-ending cycle of personal growth generated by continuous education. It is based on strategies and tools that avoid unnecessary direction and restriction, that foster curiosity, and that reward exploring adjacent questions. In order to become lifelong learners, we need to unshackle our self-education.
