Begin Again: Lifelong Learning with Author Tom Vanderbilt

from HOT FLASHES & COOL TOPICS Hosted by Hot Flashes & Cool Topics

In this episode, we speak with author Tom Vanderbilt about his new book. Beginner: The Joy and Transformative Power of Lifelong Learning describes Tom's year of learning new things purely for the sake of learning. He tackles five skills, choosing them for their difficulty to master and their lack of marketability–chess, singing, surfing, drawing, and juggling. Along the way, he explores the fascinating psychology and science behind the benefits of becoming an adult beginner.
