Essential Life Skills Needed to Be a Real Person
Many people are homeschooling their children right now, or trying to learn a new competency by spending most of their time at home, or both. However, the most important skills you can learn in life do not come from a book or online certification course.
In fact, according to Catherine Newman, author of How To Be Human: 65 Extremely Relevant and Super Essential Skills to Learn Before You Grow Up , most people never learn the most basic life skills.
In the video above, Newman lists three of the most important, in her opinion, abilities that you must master in order to consider yourself a complete person in this wild world of ours. While these skills may seem like things everyone knows how to do, you might be surprised to learn how you can make them even better and why it is so important to pass them on to others.
Newman also highlights a key thing that she believes we could all improve as a society – and if everyone listened to her, many of the problems the world is facing right now could probably be solved much more easily.
To see what skills Newman recommends (and why I didn’t cover them in this post), watch the video above.
