SUMMARY:Tom Vanderbilt — Beginners: The Joy and Transformative Power of L
 ifelong Learning - in conversation with Virginia Heffernan
DESCRIPTION:Join Tom Vanderbilt as he discusses his new book\, BEGINNERS wi
 th Virginia Heffernan on P&amp\;P Live!Why do so many of us stop learning 
 new skills as adults? Are we afraid to fail? Have we forgotten the sheer p
 leasure of being a beginner? Or is it simply a fact that you can't teach a
 n old dog new tricks?Inspired by his young daughter's insatiable need to k
 now how to do almost everything\, and stymied by his own rut of mid-career
  competence\, Tom Vanderbilt begins a year of learning purely for the sake
  of learning. He tackles five main skills (and picks up a few more along t
 he way)\, choosing them for their difficulty to master and their distinct 
 lack of career marketability--chess\, singing\, surfing\, drawing\, and ju
 ggling.&nbsp\;TOM VANDERBILT&nbsp\;has written for many publications\, inc
 luding The New York Times Magazine\, The Wall Street Journal Magazine\, Po
 pular Science\, Financial Times\, Smithsonian\, and London Review of Books
