Description
Deep Learning in a Disorienting World by Jon F. Wergin explores how to counter the escalating intolerance of worldviews and the impact of social media on our culture. Recent advances in learning theory, social psychology, politics, and the arts offer insights into developing a deep learning mindset. This book calls upon these research areas to show how accepting that our understanding is temporary and subject to scrutiny can lead to efficacy in the world. A person committed to deep learning engages fully with experiences, knowing that disquietude is what drives growth and progress. By examining the role of cognitive psychology, social psychology, politics, and the arts, Wergin provides a framework for developing this mindset in both oneself and others.
