In this world of rapid technological development, people are becoming successful, making money and finding personal satisfaction through non-traditional means. Ideas have become more important than training; innovation is more important than credentials. The ability to educate oneself—to learn how to learn—is crucial.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eJames Bach, the son of bestselling author Richard Bach, understands that. Like so many young people, James struggled in school, eventually dropping out at age sixteen. A few years later, he was leading a team at Apple Computer. Now an internationally recognized expert in the field of computer software testing, James has written \u003ci\u003eSecrets of a Buccaneer-Scholar\u003c\/i\u003e, a groundbreaking book that shows how anyone can create their own education on their own terms. It is nurturing our individual curiosities and relishing the learning process that will lead anyone—from children struggling in school to professionals looking to jumpstart their careers—to success.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn his unique pithy and anecdotal style, and combining his personal story with proven methodologies, James describes the relentless, whimsical, low-intensity learning process he calls \"buccaneering.\" \u003ci\u003eSecrets of a Buccaneer-Scholar\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates that it is the people who chart their own course, who never stop learning, who will come to dominate this new world.","brand":"Scribner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46759338574079,"sku":"9781439109090","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/Jacket_2db774e5-f835-4ec7-afc3-f59d20885477.jpg?v=1743954946","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781439109090","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
