Dilip Mukerjea writes in the tail end of his new book, Learning How to Learn (not yet released; this is a sneak preview!):

YOUR JOURNEY TO SUCCESS by Learning Every Day!

On the white pathway leading to the summit, write down at least ONE skill you will learn (or keep learning) in the coming week. Feel free to draw icons and symbols to represent your thoughts and feelings. 

WHY YOU MUST LEARN HOW TO LEARN TO SUCCEED IN THIS JOURNEY 

The ability to learn faster, deeper, and more panoramically than others will give you a crucial competitive edge in the 21st century economy. 

The immeasurable benefits comprise: 

• Allowing You to Stay Current In Your Field. As business rules change, economic conditions shift, and new technologies make old ones obsolete, workplaces are being transformed faster than ever. 

• Providing You With The Flexibility To Change Careers Because You Become Vastly More Employable. Boosting your LQ (‘Learnability Quotient) and your burgeoning skills in “knowing how to learn”; adding them to your résumé and with a link to your online portfolio will catalyse your prospects for unstoppable success. 

• Arresting Or Slowing Down Cognitive Decline. By building up a brain reserve and a more robust network of cells, the harmful effects of cognitive decline that can occur later in life can be slowed down. 

• Fostering The Growth Of New Brain Cells. You can help ensure that these brain cells stay alive by engaging in learning that requires effort (effortful learning). 

• Improving Overall Health (mental and physical) 

• Reinventing Yourself By Injecting Enthusiasm and Joy In Life En Route To Your Quest For Mastery In Your Chosen Disciplines!

Bon Voyage!
