For thinkers, planners, educationalists, parents, guardians and society as a whole, it is time to forge a new educational outcome in tune with our times, to help our learners to thrive in the future.In Serene Strength: The Power of Lifelong Learning, Arun Kapur proposes that education should go beyond schools and other academic institutions and aim to focus on fostering individuals of substance. He engages with the imperative of acquiring skills and learning processes through an active, lifelong learning process geared towards actualizing our potential.With a Foreword by His Majesty, the King of Bhutan, Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck.Buy now!
