New Book - Emergent Learning for Wisdom

Now available...

Please return here regularly for further updates and information on this new book published by Palgrave Macmillian, Dr. Marilyn M. Taylor's: Emergent Learning for Wisdom. Here's a synopsis:

"The new millennium presents us with unexpected events that challenge us to think and act in fundamentally different ways. Meeting these challenges requires not only the creation of knowledge but the development of wisdom. This book draws together 40 years of scholarship and practice along with original research to catalyze our expertise in learning what we didn’t know we didn’t know. As evident from the perspective of the learner, a pattern of four distinctive phases of experience-- a specific sequence of cognitive, affective, and relationship features—can generate an enhanced perspective out of confusion and lead to wisdom in action."
