When I published Ultralearning<\/a> last August, I had no idea how the world would have changed six months later. Self-directed learning from home has become a requirement for millions, not just a quirky pastime for a few.<\/p>\n

Yet I understand if getting excited about learning seems far from your mind right now. These are scary times. Both our physical and economic health are in danger, and it can often feel like there\u2019s nothing you can do but sit and panic-scroll your newsfeed all day.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no shame in being worried. I am too. But in tough times, it is how we choose to respond to our worries that will define us as people in the years to come. Did we dissolve into panic, or did we rise up and do something constructive?<\/p>\n

Now is the time to learn.<\/strong><\/p>\n
