Synopsis

This book takes a systematic approach to learning that has been long revered in the education field (approximately 75,000 educators take the Kolb Learning Style Inventory each year) and makes it accessible to any reader who wants to be a lifelong learner.

Being a lifelong learner is one of the secrets to happiness, success, and personal fulfillment. This book awakens and enhances the power of learning that lies within us. David Kolb originated the concept of Experiential Learning-a systematic approach to understanding how we learn-and in this book he and Kay Peterson take what has up until now been a powerful professional development tool and make it accessible to a popular audience.

Peterson and Kolb offer deep, research-based insights into how we learn, what Kolb calls the Experiential Learning Cycle. Then they identify nine specific learning styles and guide you in identifying your dominant style. This will help you understand your strengths and weaknesses as a learner, but they emphasize that flexibility is the key to lifelong learning. So they suggest ways you can expand your repertoire of learning styles. This book is an eye-opening read for anyone who wants to continue to grow and meet life challenges in a transformative way.

Having read about personality types, different profiles,......more

Personal Styles Recognized, Optimized, Balanced - Originally seeing this title regarding David Kolb’s work (see my review of his “Experiential Learning”), I finally got a hold of this book by he and Kay Peterson.

Goodreads review by Karen on July 14, 2018

It's interesting to listen to but the reader had a very deep baritone voice which made it difficult to listen to at high speed or with any ambient noise in the room. (The reader also sounded a bit bored.) Nine different learning styles is interesting but part of me is rankled that there are more sec......more

Goodreads review by Jay on July 17, 2019

In reading this, it seems the author is offering up a rehash of Myers Briggs, but including the word learning in as many descriptions as possible. The author includes 9 “ways of learning”, some opposites of others, some overlapping others, with the thought that you prefer to act “to type” as a defau......more
