Part travel memoir, part spiritual odyssey, mostly a recipe for prosocial success, Reframe recounts Tinsley Galyean's quest to create and grow Curious Learning, an international nonprofit organization focused on "giving everyone the opportunity to learn to read."
In 2014, a group of researchers began studying the possibility of teaching kids across the globe to read using inexpensive smartphones and curated apps. If their methods proved effective, could illiteracy eventually be eradicated globally? Could generations of humans attain the empowerment and opportunities reading provides? Reframe is an answer to those questions.
Part travel memoir, part spiritual odyssey, mostly a recipe for prosocial success, Reframe recounts Tinsley Galyean's quest to create and grow Curious Learning, an international nonprofit organization focused on "giving everyone the opportunity to learn to read." Along the way, he discovers that our biggest impediments often reside in our own minds, in beliefs that limit our ability to see clearly. Examples from his own experiences provide tools for reframing "limiting beliefs" and instructions for freeing ourselves from the conditioning that obscures the most potent possibilities.
On a quest for positive change, Reframe journeys inward and outward, across the globe—to India, South Africa, Bangladesh, Ethiopia, and Peru—and the terrain of our vital relationships with ourselves and others. This book is about the magic of curiosity and how it aligns us with lives attuned to learning and growing.
If you aim to live a fuller life, lead an organization into uncharted territory, or simply read stories that will change your worldview, this book is for you.
