Better than I could have hoped. It takes you from Jon’s start to the present time. I’m excited to read the sequel.

Courage to Grow tells how a small school in Austin, Texas, sparked a worldwide awakening of families, who believe every child deserves to find a calling that will change the world. In an age where Google shares information, Uber shares cars, and Airbnb shares rooms, Acton Academy turns learning upside down by equipping children to share learning with each other, in a close-knit community with extremely high standards of excellence.

Empowered Children will Change the World
Reviewed: 06-07-23
This book is one that I recommend that any family with children in school should read and think about the concepts presented here. Laura and her husband started a school from the ground up brought about by asking themselves what is the best learning environment for my child and how can I create it. They have created a system where kids learn how to learn, learn how to do, learn how to be, not just memorize and regurgitate information that they will soon forget. This books walks us through the process of them asking the questions and creating a solution that is based on the kids of today and how they can thrive in the real world. The “quests” explained in this book done at Acton show that they give our kids credit for being more accountable and engaged in their owns life’s then our current public education system does. After reading this book i knew that I needed to find a Acton school near me. I wanted my kids to benefit from this learning environment no matter how hard it would be. I knew that this was going to be the best way, along with being actively engaged as a parent, for my child to be successful in life and feel empowered. I recommend that everyone should read this book and consider our children in this time and how empowered children can and will change the world!

Our unconscious thought patterns determine our relationships, our spiritual life, and our connection to God to a much greater extent than we know. That’s an alarming thought, because the subconscious mind is a mysterious realm that is really difficult to access and influence...right? No. It’s really not! And it’s the most urgent and impactful thing we can do. This book will show you how.

Born to survivalists in the mountains of Idaho, Tara Westover was seventeen the first time she set foot in a classroom. Her family was so isolated from mainstream society that there was no one to ensure the children received an education, and no one to intervene when one of Tara’s older brothers became violent. When another brother got himself into college, Tara decided to try a new kind of life. Her quest for knowledge transformed her, taking her over oceans and across continents, to Harvard and to Cambridge University.

Let me save you some time. You don’t have to make a lot as long as you invest over time. That’s it. Good voice, lame story.
