RE: Book review: how can you discover your talents?

This review hits the nail on the head of such a real problem! I love how you chip away at the idea that the current education system seems like a clone factory, crushing unique talents in the name of math and stillness. The thing about asking “what lifts your spirits?” should be the subject of class, not just therapy. And the thing about changing careers three times.... I confirm!

Sort:  

I surely hope to see a "lift your spirit" theme in the curriculum for preschoolers and teenagers as well. I think that we are way past the industrial era and that schools need to prepare children with a focus on building resilience, self-awareness and inner motivation. The problems that we have now with mental illness are partially created by the education system and by extention by the workplace (where still we see remnants of the industrial era mentality still used in 2025)
I appreciate your smart and valuable comment on this post!
