Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)If you're a parent, you need to read this book to help guide your kids to get on the path of life-long learning and opportunity.
If you're a student, you need to read this book to find out how to amplify what's happening in the classroom so you can pursue your dreams and gain expertise along the way.
If you're out of school (or never went), you need to read this book so you can discover the wealth of opportunities (many of them free) that are out there to follow a path to expertise.
My only wish is that this book came out about 25 years earlier. It would have saved me several steps in the path to sort of figuring this out. Thanks to Schoolless, I now have a roadmap to follow and share with my daughters. Thanks, Gannon!

Eventually, we all find ourselves schoolless. Some become schoolless when they drop out of high school, and some only after they graduate from college. Be it sooner or later, when traditional educational doors close to us, how do we go about the task of lifelong learning?We can unlock the answer by studying those who have found themselves schoolless prematurely. Some are quite notable. Steve Jobs dropped out of college after one semester. The Wright brothers never attended any college after high school. Abraham Lincoln found himself schoolless after about one year of formal schooling. Benjamin Franklin had about two. Frederick Douglass had none at all.It is from these biographies that lessons are gleaned about how one can successfully overcome a lack of access to formal education. Add to their biographies the latest psychological research into learning, as well as the lessons from the open-source movement, and what is left is part inspiration and part guide to fulfill one's intellectual potential.
