NOTES
Read by Aleksander Bromberek
Each of us is unique and exceptional. We are all born with a natural curiosity about the world, a desire to discover, learn and create. How is it that this uniqueness, creativity, joy and freedom of expression are lost somewhere during adolescence and school education at that time? Do universal education systems based on the Enlightenment belief that we all come into the world as a "blank board" that can be freely written support our development and develop our abilities, or is it quite the opposite? model and trying to fit us into the framework of social expectations is surely a condition for a successful and fulfilled life? This is not confirmed by examples of people who managed to break out of this system and go their own way. educations are successful in various fields and industries, creating, inventing, modernizing, and often even revolutionizing their own and their contemporaries' lives, making them better and easier. The audiobook, Successes of the self-taught - Kings of Big Business, contains fifty biographies of extraordinary people - self-taught entrepreneurs who, despite difficult conditions, poverty and lack of school education, have achieved great successes in their lives, significantly influencing the world as we know it. Let them prove to you that a fulfilled life and success depend primarily on work and independent development, and not on formal education
