Meridian Library District'sBook Picks
This month's book recommendation from Jill Panter of the Meridian Library District sounds like a great reminder to us all to Never Stop Learning. Check it out . . .
Never Stop Learning: Stay Relevant, Reinvent Yourself, and Thrive, by Bradley R. Staats. It’s a truism in today’s economy: the only constant is change. Technological automation is making jobs less routine and more cognitively challenging. Globalization means you’re competing with workers around the world. Simultaneously, the internet and other communication technologies have radically increased the potential impact of individual knowledge. The relentless dynamism of these forces shaping our lives has created a new imperative: we must strive to become dynamic learners. In Never Stop Learning, behavioral scientist and operations expert Bradley R. Staats describes the principles and practices that comprise dynamic learning and outlines a framework to help you become more effective as a lifelong learner.
