Recommendation

“Knowledge is the new money,” learning entrepreneur and best-selling author Michael Simmons argues. In the 21st-century knowledge economy, he posits, you either sink or learn. Taking his cue from some of the world’s most successful people, including Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, he advocates for spending at least five hours per week reading and learning. Simmons’s article is for everybody who seeks advice on how to establish a lifelong learning habit or who needs the extra motivation to finally do so.

Take-Aways

  • Knowledge and skills are replacing money to become the 21st century’s most valuable currency.
  • To get the most out of your learning investment, follow a six-point framework.
  • Dedicating specific times to learning and honoring that commitment will help you adopt a lifelong learning habit.
