Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Workforce Education
This book has a helpful insight to training adults. Understanding the motivation behind an individuals desire to learn has an impact on the overall effectiveness of the training involved. Great book, a must read for individuals in the field of adult education. Four and a half stars should be highlighted.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - BUT monkey!

BUT the author digresses at the end of the last chapter into spouting his opinions about how the motivation should be used to institute social change and environmental policy.
