If you are new to Mission to Learn, or have simply decided to spend a bit more time exploring what is here, the posts listed on this page represent good places to start.
It’s also good to know that the whole focus here is on lifelong learning. I mean that not so much in the sense of accumulating knowledge about specific topics but rather in the spirit of how we can continually learn, grow, and live the most fulfilling lives possible.
You will find plenty here about specific learning resources, but you will also find general perspectives on what it means to be a lifelong learner in a hyper-connected world, how to develop and improve learning habits, and how to actually get the most out of what you have learned (which is nearly always more than you realize!) in every day life.
Naturally, you can also read more about Mission to Learn on the About page.
A Definition of Learning
This is a very recent post and one that was long overdue: a blog about learning should offer a definition of learning. I won’t claim there is anything revelationary in this one, but it serves its purpose.
