Outlearn the Future - by Louka Parry (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Become someone the future can't replace

Education futurist Louka Parry has spent his life helping people expand their ability to learn and adapt. In Outlearn the Future he distils his decades of experience into six uniquely human capacities that unlock your potential and purpose. Drawing on psychology, wellbeing science, and philosophy, this book will help you fall back in love with learning. Louka goes beyond productivity hacks and mindset tips. Instead, Outlearn the Future gives you a practical system for learning to help you -- and those you lead and teach -- thrive in our unpredictable world.

You were a natural learner once, curious and unafraid to fail. Then somewhere between childhood and your career you stopped seeing yourself as someone still growing and became someone grown: an adult, an expert. But your brain is built to keep learning for life, and that human advantage is essential for your resilience, your cognitive health and your long-term wellbeing. That's where the ABCDEF framework comes in, a system to rediscover your agency, belonging, curiosity, discernment, embodiment, and flourishing.

You'll learn how to:

• Resist the pitfalls of the digital world to protect yourself against distraction, disconnection, disengagement, and decay.
• Reignite the natural curiosity you were born with and develop this in others.
• Build real adaptability and confidenceas you navigate change.
• Apply a practical framework for flourishing that grows with you through every life stage.
• Navigate career pivots and technological disruption without losing yourself in the process.

Outlearn the Future gives you a practical framework to help you evolve to meet the future without losing your humanity.
