  I ordered this book last week and look forward to reading it according to what I saw on Amazon. Sounds like it could rock the boat of some people at my school, including myself.

  Wow, what a provocative title! I have never heard of this book, but I think I'll get it and read it. Thanks for making me aware of it.

  I finally started the book. It isn't exactly what I expected. I might have named it "How people learn to think." It is fascinating, though. I keep applying it to the problems we sometimes have teaching adults new processes, i.e. as in professional development. More later.
