Do our plans to advance or succeed require a change in the quantity of what we do, or the quality of who we are? Does success require special intentions or particular opportunities? The Learning Project is a search to find meaning in life.
In The Learning Project people of all ages and circumstances explore their struggle and inspiration. Artists, athletes, tradesmen, soldiers, scientists, and politicians describe their passages of inner change. Across every generation--regardless of circumstance, from the millennia's most important thinkers down to the real pickpockets of Oliver Twist--it is pride of self and connection to one's humanity that makes all the difference.
Some are the struggles of adolescence, others span generations going back to the Civil War. These are rites of passage echoing a mythology going back thousands of years. Locked in them are our secrets to becoming human.
This is not the sanitized version, diluted by psychologists or reduced by business schools to graphs and buzz words. These are not pigeonholed people unlike you and I, nor simple bedtime stories carved to meet our teacher's approval. These are the full textured, authentic rites of passage; whole, first person lives, unfiltered and unfolded by layers. Lives like yours: twisted, complex, uncertain, and in the process of being born. This is the story of our transformation and transcendence.
