      Most scholarly papers or books barely focus on you.

      Plus, the youth – your children – are disproportionately disadvantaged because of failing public schools in the United States.  Enough!

      Instead, read on for actionable advice to make sure you and yours are prepared to overcome the difficult economic challenges posed by the knowledge-based economy.

      While reading is power in an economy where education and innovation are highly valued, low reading skills among US youth pose a danger.

      Even if you are not an avid reader now, after completing this book, you will be better ready to engage in lifelong learning and consume great ideas and profound thoughts in texts to better navigate the Digital Age.

      Disruption: Lifelong Learning in the Knowledge Economy is written from the perspective of an English as Second Language educator with more than 9 years of experience preparing children, students, and professionals for success in the world economy.

      INTRODUCTION

      LARGE- SCALE PARADIGM shifts are disrupting the interdependent global economy.

      The peerless Brookings Institution refers to it as Megachange – dramatic economic disruptions, political upheaval, or social strife, among other things.¹

      In Disruption: Lifelong Learning in the Knowledge Economy, you get a ringside seat to the lurching switch from a manufacturing to post-industrial economy based on brains, not brawn.

      Disruption focuses on the fundamentals to prepare yourself and your children to thrive in the new economy.

      Here is a summary of the chapters that follow.

      Chapter 1 covers the aspects and implications of a knowledge-based economy.

      Chapters 2 and 3 address Lifelong Learning – the antidote to the rapid, chaotic change impacting you and your children now.

      Chapter 4 gives parents, students, young professionals, experienced professionals, and retirees practical advice to overcome the current upheaval in the global economy.

      Chapter 5 begins a journey to explore how reading helps you cope with the new economy.

      Chapter 6 gives the author’s perspective of the challenges ahead.

      Finally, I leave you with a few partings words and encouragement to use lifelong learning to succeed the disruption caused by the Knowledge Economy.
