Review: Moving out of the mainstream requires trust. Letting children learn self-directed requires even more trust. And sometimes it can be scary to not measure and control your child's learning. That is where Peter Gray's book Free to Learn comes in. Peter Gray was a sceptic, he was a worried parent whose son embarked on a free learning journey and he is an academic who looked to research to get piece of mind. This book uses research to make the case for free learning or life learning. Peter Gray describes why this is a suitable and better way to learn and he takes away all doubts. He looks at adult free learners and how they found their place in society, he looks at how parents can support their children and how schools can open up. As a parent of two free learners this is the book I will always go back to when I have a wobble. I highly recommend this book to every parent and teacher who is interested in an alternative way to learning that uses the child's natural curiosity to learn and supports their interests and passions rather than relying on a set curriculum and standardised tests.

Dopo Wilhelm Reich, finalmente uno psicologo illuminato che sa sentire col cuore e col cervello. Propone una strada innovativa nella sua semplicità per dare i nostri figli la serenità e l'indipendenza emotiva. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.es/products/253238923-basic-books-free-to-learn-why-unleashing-the-instinct-to](https://www.desertcart.es/products/253238923-basic-books-free-to-learn-why-unleashing-the-instinct-to) --- *Product available on Desertcart Spain* *Store origin: ES* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
