Consider the School of “Higher Unlearning” For the Most Valuable Education

Good Reads

One of my favorite rebel thinkers, Jack Uldrich, “Chief Unlearning Officer” at The School of Unlearning has written a thought-provoking, potentially game changing book that takes thinking outside the box to a whole new level. Higher Unlearning: 39 Post-Requisite Lessons for Achieving a Successful Future examines many of those well entrenched beliefs that we cling to, turns them inside out and shows us how and why we need to master the art of unlearning before we can

move forward and be successful both in business and in life.

A few of my favorite gems:

  • Argue with yourself (Lesson 4)
  • Question the wisdom of experts (Lesson 7)
  • Practice Intentional Imperfection (Lesson 13)
  • Know Doubt (Lesson 21)
  • Don’t Just Do Something, Sit There (Lesson 32)
  • Put on Some Rose Colored Glasses (Lesson 35)

This is one of those books that you will want to highlight, write in the margins and re-read while you take some time to digest all of Jack’s many pearls of wisdom. The key to success might not lie in acquiring more knowledge and skills; it might be found in unlearning much of what you already think you know.

A fabulous read that has earned a prominent spot on my office bookshelf.

Question everything, move forward, enjoy the journey.
