Synopsis

Cultivate a new generation of self-reliant thinkers in this powerful approach to education and learning.

Nothing short of a re-alignment of the heavens. Virtually a new and liberating way of looking at civilization. A BIG IDEA for big challenges.
—Tom Peters, best-selling author of In Search of Excellence

In this groundbreaking shift to how we approach learning, best-selling author and business educator Carol Sanford offers a systemic, introspective approach to education and critical thinking.

From the time we’re able to learn, we take in knowledge from others. From our education system to how we work, we accept what leaders, experts, and the authorities tell us as fact. We are taught that others with more training and specialty degrees are the gatekeepers of truth. Yet, this practice of acceptance without validation leads us to design systems that feed polarization, faulty decision making, and poor leadership.

No More Gold Stars answers the important question “How do we stop letting others think for us and instead learn to examine knowledge for ourselves?” If our current approach to learning undermines learning itself, it’s time to dismantle the flawed behaviorism theory fueling such errors in our schools, families, and businesses and instead turn inward to be self-directed, critical thinkers.

Discover:

• Six disciplines for fostering independent thought and creativity, crucial in tackling big challenges like climate change and social injustice.
• Engaging case stories demonstrating profound, sustainable learning in business and community contexts.
• Interactive workbook sections after each chapter, personalizing the journey of learning and application.
• 24 specific developmental practices to revolutionize your approach to education, learning, and change.
• Insights to challenge and overcome the pervasive issues entrenched in our education systems, institutions, and business organizations.

Rooted in ancient approaches found in indigenous cultures, spiritual communities, and quantum disruptors of modern science, No More Gold Stars is an essential instrument for those ready to challenge popular wisdom and embrace a more effective, systemic way of thinking and learning. No More Gold Stars offers an approach to developing human critical thinking skills where each human can think for themselves and become more creative, complete, and wise, at a time when we need it most.
