BECOME AN AUTODIDACT:
SELF-UNIVERSITY WEEK
Created in 1989, Self-University Week seeks to awaken the autodidact in each of us. Whether you've made it through high school or achieved a Ph.D., you've probably figured out that education starts after you graduate. People constantly learn, which is as necessary for our health as our quality of life. The first seven days of September each year remind people to learn something new and embrace the unexpected.
Are you looking for ideas?
—Visit your library and find a new topic to discover.
—Play the Devil's advocate. Think of a topic for which you are passionate. Some hot-button issues include immigration, abortion, guns, Israel, the death penalty, climate sciences, etc. Now spend the week learning about the other side and their arguments.
—Choose a country you've never visited but would like to. Research it and create an action plan to get there one day.
—Spend the week at different restaurants representing different cultures (nobody said eating isn't part of learning). You can also do this with beers and wines and explore the world's tastes or music. Choose something new and different to learn.
This week's idea is to expand your knowledge, challenge conventions, and improve your understanding. Have fun with it!
