Colleen Ryer

<p>Soon after beginning an educational upgrade,&nbsp;Colleen Ryer realized that the stated benefits she&#39;d been sold on weren&#39;t deliverable.The standard emphasis on <em>what to think</em> &nbsp;wasn&#39;t enough. A detour was in order.&nbsp;<em>How to think</em> has guided&nbsp;her from that turning point, and for over a decade now, she&#39;s traveled in independent learning&nbsp;directions. Along the way, Colleen has spied, unearthed - and tripped over - some surprising and incredibly useful insights. The productive nature of these different takes on common assumptions provokes an all-fired-up urge to keep on digging. She spends a lot of energy researching, writing and blogging, but finds time to chip away at her&nbsp;off grid transition and enjoy learning about life in her new home province of Nova Scotia, too.</p><p></p>
