On All in the Mind this week, we hear what Tom learnt from his journey, the benefits of lifelong learning, and how kids and adults learn differently. Over the next year he embarked on learning multiple new skills, from surfing to singing.

Within a couple of months, they’d recruited a teacher and both Tom and his daughter combo were battling it out over 64 squares. This book title, Beginners (The Joy and Transformative Power of Lifelong Learning), ISBN: 9780525432975, by Tom Vanderbilt, published by Knopf Doubleday.
