Review # 1 was written on 2019-03-01 00:00:00 Jesse Sexx This is a profound book. At the surface, it's a review of our education system, its failings and a picture of what an ideal education system should look like. While describing so, the authors discuss fundamental ideas about what it means to be educated and what is the role (and responsibility) of an individual in society. In doing so they paint a beautiful vision of a new educational and (indirectly social) system of individuals pursuing their own journeys freely in accordance with their own chosen values.

Review # 2 was written on 2010-11-20 00:00:00 Joseph Hernandez This book really got me into the Ackoff philosophy of life. I'm going to be reading all of his books and articles that I can find. I wish I had had the opportunity to meet the man. This book also introduces many of the concepts of the Sudbury Valley school which read me to reading Neill's Summerhill. This book will make you question how we survived traditional K-12 with our souls intact, and what we can do for future generations.
