As he chronicles his own experiences of studying how to sing, surf, draw, weld and juggle, he encourages listeners to embrace a “beginner’s mind” that facilitates lifelong learning. He takes listeners on an exploratory tour through infant psychology, educational theory and cognitive science. Vanderbilt, who reads his own book, acknowledges that adults are rarely comfortable learning new skills.
