Abstract

This book is the second in a series to explore the potential for self-directed lifelong action learning (LAL). LAL enables all people and especially the world’s most marginalized, to discover their unique gifts; develop these talents together with likeminded people, become self-confident, self-directed and self-sufficient; and then cascade what they have learned to help others.
