Why Read? Nutrients for your Soil.

A colleague of mine on the journey shared this  photo.  

Admittedly it is pretty cute but more importantly it reminds us about what learning is for.

Reading is more than entertainment.    Reading is for learning.   Why would we want to learn?   In order to reduce our ignorance.

When I was reading this book I spent some time wondering how on earth someone making the decisions that Dr Nutt points to around aid and military intervention might see more of the story given how their thinking is oriented.

It is only through investigative journalism, truth telling, play writing, story telling, sage development, listening carefully and the capacity to negotiate confirmation bias that we can move forward

Books = nutrients... all soil needs nutrients

(Thank you Christine Martin, for this photo)
