This program is about the activity of learning as a skill.

To be successful in the modern world, you need to be good at learning. Whether success, for you, means being successful in your career, your studies or your hobbies—at work, at home or in your community—you need to want to learn, commit to learning and know how to learn.

And learning doesn’t just mean acquiring new knowledge. It's also about developing your skills, attitudes, values and your way of being in the world.

To be successful today in a world that is constantly changing, you need to be continuously adapting, growing and improving yourself. In other words, everyone needs to become a self-directed lifelong learner.

In this course, you will have access to different tools and techniques to help you cultivate your capacity for learning and allow you to choose a learning path that best fits you.

This program will quickly enable you to organize and manage your learning objectives on a daily basis by creating and following your personalized learning plan.

I’m hoping that these methods—and this program—will help you in your lifelong journey of personal and professional development and open the door to the joy of learning!

If you are still in doubt, tell yourself that learning fast and thoroughly is not reserved for a privileged class of exceptional students. We can all cultivate this learning ability for self-improvement, at any age and, potentially, in any discipline. Our potential is unlimited, and yours is too!

Use this course as a toolbox to rise to this challenge. You can also see it as an instruction manual for the incredible machine that is your brain.
