The personal growth
and enlightenment "curriculum" we gain outside
of school
and the workplace,
in our homes... shapes us as individuals spiritually, intellectually,
and physically. Unfortunately, we hardly
ever acknowledge the home as the seat of our most enduring and
significant learning environment.
Developmental psychologists have long documented
the impact of the home on early childhood development and early
learning. However, few acknowledge the impact of the home
as the foundation for supporting ongoing personal growth and enrichment
through adult lifelong learning habits.
The established
educational system is limited to preparing the individual for
further schooling and the workplace, rather than life as a whole.
Even many adult education facilities have that orientation, so
that often one thinks, "Why didn't they teach me this at
school?" or "Where can I go to learn about this?"
So many things one needs to know in life, or which could greatly
enhance one's life, are not easily accessible. Work and
family obligations, finances, inconvenient scheduling, mobility
and health issues present barriers to many individuals interested
in "learning"; and while the advent of the internet
has made much of this information available with a few keystrokes,
many people are lost in its vast and chaotic space.
The following is a list of selected
topics about which many people are inadequately informed and desire
to know more - of their own volition and just for themselves.
These are topics as diverse as: How to...
- learn
online
- communicate effectively, including
with partner, friends and family, at work and to groups of people
- approach people and make friends
- study effectively
- exercise effectively
- cook and eat well and get healthy
- assert your rights and needs
effectively
- understand, control and channel
one's emotions (and to teach your children to be emotionally
literate)
- handle shyness and improve self-esteem
- continue to develop one's mental
abilities and spiritual awareness
- understand religious, philosophical,
psychological and political ideas and develop an intelligent
world view, free of cultural conditioning
- research a topic on the Internet
- manage one's personal finances
or run a small business
- make time, control stress and
handle life's problems
- be creative (paint, make music,
write, etc as well as all kinds of projects that make a difference)
- achieve the goals one envisions
- help others and change conditions
in the world for the better
- handle loss and grief, when
things go wrong, and upsets when relationships blow-up
- bring up children to become
loving, fulfilled and responsible adults
- understand the persuasion and
cultural/group influences, and how to retain an objective and
independent view
- research the truth about history
and economics, from a global perspective
- research the truth about activities
and motives of government and corporate bodies, and human rights
