PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Lincoln Stoller grew up around and was mentored by artists, engineers, scientists, athletes, and educators recognized as some of the greatest of the century--including three Nobel Laureates in physics and a handful of world-famous mountaineers--as well as by numerous visionaries, mystics, shamans, and madmen. He has published in the academic and the popular press as an astronomer, physicist, software architect, neurologist, anthropologist, psychotherapist, explorer, and educator. He is an assessing editor at the Journal of Mind and Behavior, has written three books, and has participated in the founding of three schools for young people. As a teenager, he traveled the world climbing mountains and, in the process, fell 1,000 feet off the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies, swam across the arctic sea, crashed his airplane, collapsed his horse, stepped in quicksand, survived frostbite, starved, poisoned himself, survived a major earthquake, was buried in an avalanche, and became a cultural ambassador to families in Central America, Mongolia, and the Caribbean. During this time he attended seven colleges, got a doctorate in Quantum Mechanics, became certified as a hypnotherapist, glider pilot, and rescue diver, founded a software company specializing in business automation, designed and built two houses, and was awarded a patent in computer software. After moving from New York to British Columbia, Lincoln now works with clients in the areas of brain training, sleep, spiritual emergence, medical hypnosis, and entrepreneurship. Committed to supporting mental health, personal growth, and social evolution, he blogs and podcasts regularly. He can be reached through his web site at mindstrengthbalance.com.
"2019 Book of the Year Award Winner, from the Independent Book Publishers Association. ""In a society deeply committed to time-wasting, Lincoln Stoller has given us something of a miracle in his Learning Project, a window out of our own claustrophobic darkness into the consciousness of others, a momentary intimacy with the essences which animate flesh. What learning project could match this one?"" -- John Taylor Gatto, recipient of Excellence in Advancement of Educational Freedom, author of Dumbing Us Down and The Underground History of American Education ""The Learning Project provides a Rosetta Stone for living a self-made, satisfied life; an intuitive understanding worth more than its weight in gold. With brilliant glimpses into fascinating lives, Stoller shows life's answers lie in people. I highly recommend this book to anyone in the process of pursuing their dreams - that should mean everyone."" -- Alexander Khost, founder of Voice of the Children NYC ""Authentic learning comes from living as much with passion as with intellect. This is a wonderful collection of choices, risks, doubts, struggles, failures, and triumphs from widely differing backgrounds, personalities, chosen paths, and ages - from 15 to 93 - of remarkable, adventurous lives. Lincoln Stoller has a great knack for inviting the revelation of basic life truths, and the learning that has occurred along the way. I recommend this book to anyone, but especially to people thinking about how they themselves might leave a well-worn path for something new and heartfelt."" -- Peter Gray, PhD, Department of Psychology, Boston College, and President of Alliance for Self-Directed Education. Author of Psychology and Free to Learn ""The sheer diversity of the stories in this massive work, from individuals who forged their own trails, shows there are so many more ways to learn than the model our culture currently supports. How wonderfully inventive we are, we humans - our differences are our strength. Message to all: accept yourself as you are, take yourself seriously, and keep going!"" -- Wendy Wolosoff-Hayes, psychotherapist and founder of spaciousheartguidance.com ""The Learning Project explores processes of learning through a fascinating variety of interviews with people diverse in age, experience, and social standing. The transformative power of learning and knowledge are recurring themes. This informative, entertaining book should benefit readers from any discipline."" -- Raymond C. Russ, PhD, Editor of The Journal of Mind and Behavior ""A physicist by training and philosopher by inclination, Lincoln Stoller asks a fascinating collection of people about how they make key decisions in their lives. With simple questions like, ""I don't know, tell me..."" he opens discussions about deep life experiences. This book, intended for young people reflecting on how to live, is relevant for anyone considering their personal narrative and life philosophy."" -- Rachel Harris, PhD, psychologist. Co-author of Teenagers Learn What They Live ""Anyone interested in the actual mechanics of lifelong changes, success, and growth will realize that The Learning Project offers an unprecedented, invaluable key to achievement that no growth-oriented learner should bypass."" -- D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review"
