knew in the prison library. The key, as Helen Baker said, is, “When I want to know something, I go and find out.” That’s a faster and simpler process than wanting to know something and figuring out how to get accredited as an expert in it — a process that takes much time and money and doesn’t necessarily teach you what you wanted to know in the first place.
That’s the message of this book. When I read it I thought, “Yeah, I know that.” Then I remembered it took me 18 years of schooling to figure it out. If you think that you’re only a serious learner when you’re in school and that you have to stay there or go back to be serious, read this book. It might save you some boredom and wasted effort and yield you some fun and good work.
