Metalearning, The Four Hour Chef, and Instructional Design: The eLearning Coach

Metalearning, The Four Hour Chef, and Instructional Design: The eLearning Coach:

"My ears perked up when I heard the word metalearning in an interview with the author of The Four Hour Chef, a new book by Tim Ferriss. I was curious how metalearning—roughly defined as learning how to learn—related to a cook book.
I wondered if the author had devised a new speed learning model based on experience that could be applied to instructional design."

Timothy Ferriss - ‘The 4-Hour Body’ - Review - NYTimes.com

The 4-Hour Body
The 4-Hour Body (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
I'm currently reading this book and enjoying much of the information presented, with a dose of healthy skepticism with some of the claims. The New York Times was less than kind in this review:

Timothy Ferriss - ‘The 4-Hour Body’ - Review - NYTimes.com:

"Here’s a better analogy: “The 4-Hour Body” reads as if The New England Journal of Medicine had been hijacked by the editors of the SkyMall catalog. Some of this junk might actually work, but you’re going to be embarrassed doing it or admitting to your friends that you’re trying it. This is a man who, after all, weighs his own feces, likes bloodletting as a life-extension strategy and aims a Philips goLite at his body in place of ingesting caffeine."

No NHL, no problem. Calgary still has plenty to offer. Here are three musical events to consider to enhance the spirit of the season:

1. Bowfire! The Ultimate String Sensation

"Bowfire’s all-star lineup of virtuosic fiddlers delivers a mix of Celtic, rock, bluegrass, country, classical music and Christmas favourites. Add in beautiful vocals, electric step and tap dancing, lights, costumes and sets, and you’ve got one fast-paced spectacle for the senses. Get ready for a Ho Ho Ho Down as they join forces with your CPO for a concert experience unlike any other!

Wednesday, December 19, 2012 – 7:30pm"

2. Calgary Jazz Orchestra

"A Perfectly Frank Christmas" December 23rd 2012 Tickets here"


“Sound is the same as a painter’s palette. Our goal when performing is to paint incredible pictures with the variety of colours that we have at our disposal. To create an acoustic picture is art for the moment – the music is more emotional and resonates with the audience.”
-Johnny Summers, Director, Calgary Jazz Orchestra


3. Blue Arch Strings: "Music For A Winter Afternoon"

Music from Mozart, Vivaldi and more.
