Learn, solve, thrive captures in 3 words the essence of why we learn. We don't do it simply because we want to learn - there's a reason for learning. Kath Humes new book artfully blends research from neuroscience, psychology and philosophy with real world experience and stories into a practical 'How to' for thriving in the modern world. The writing is clear and straightforward and plentifully illustrated so that you can easily digest complex ideas and I came away inspired and ready to take action. It's a must-have for anyone who wants to develop themselves or others. Stella Collins Author Neuroscience for Learning, co-founder and Chief Learning Scientist Stellar Labs Where neuroscience meets learning meets practitioner practice. Learn Solve Thrive is a really interesting book which offers an intersection of disciplines essential for today's L&Der. The premise of the book is that learning the skill of learning sits with individuals, therefore this book is indeed of benefit to all in modern business, not just those in L&D. The books is curation which guides us though not just why we need to learn nor only how to learn, but also giving us the encouragement to do so in a wide holistic way; for example, there are lovely 'recipes' for things like a foot soak and sound therapy. Hugely well researched and referenced, this book offers more than the sum of its pages. The curation of the theorists and idea offered to us by the author hits all the relevant notes. The author encourages the reader to seek out our own evidence, challenges our thinking and calls us to a better learning, and life, outcomes. Michelle Parry-Slater, UK Author The Learning and Development Handbook, HR Most Influential Thinker 2023 In Learn Solve Thrive, Kath Hume helps to distil the latest thinking on learning science. Kath explores the neuroscience of learning but her unique contribution is her focus on the mind-body connection essential for learning, with human-centered, practical techniques we can all use to learn, solve and thrive. Arun Pradhan, Australia AITD Learning and Development Professional of the Year, co-founder modelthinkers.com It is so refreshing to pick up a well written book on learning and to feel relieved that at last someone has put together in one place so many aspects on how people learn. This book should be in the hands of every (student) teacher, every adult educator, every student on their learning path and every parent, coach, mentor, or influencer who cares about how learning works, and wishes to improve. Congratulations to Kathryn Hume for pulling together so many different threads of theory and practice around learning and for making this experience so readable and enjoyable. A must for everyone and anyone who wishes to enhance their learning journey. Dr Michelle Mulvihill Academic, Adult Educator, Mentor, Coach.
