5.0 out of 5 stars Plenty of wisdom for learners of all ages., 10 Oct 2000
By Colin (Manchester, UK) - See all my reviews
One of the few to sense the flaws in our learning/ teaching structures, Guy Claxton reveals what it takes for learning to occur. An important book for anyone willing to believe that we may not have the optimal system at present. Builds on the work done by John Holt and Tim Gallwey among others.
