Thrive: How Learning Can Ignite a New Way Forward

by Dr. Gina Anderson

Overview

Thrive: How Learning Can Ignite a New Way Forward by Dr. Gina Anderson is a groundbreaking exploration of how our digitally driven world shapes our emotions, relationships, and sense of purpose-and how we can reclaim joy, connection, and meaning through the transformative power of learning.

Drawing from learning science and psychology and her own experiences as a learning scientist and CEO, Dr. Anderson delves into the paradox of modern life: endless connectivity through apps, games, and devices, yet an overwhelming sense of loneliness and disconnection. Why do scrolling through social media and chasing notifications often leave us feeling empty instead of fulfilled? How can we break free from the cycle of constant distraction and rediscover what truly matters?

In this compelling guide, Dr. Anderson provides tools and insights to help readers cut through the noise, re-engage with the world around them, and cultivate a love of learning that fosters curiosity, resilience, and a sense of community. Whether you're seeking to thrive in your personal life, strengthen relationships, or spark change in your workplace, this book offers a new way forward for anyone ready to embrace the joys of intentional living.

Thrive is not about abandoning technology but about using it-and life itself-with purpose and balance. It's a call to reconnect with what it means to be truly human in a hyperconnected age.
