    On Learning - Selected Writings

    This volume offers a curated selection of five previously-published texts that, in different ways, address the topic of learning. The first three selections, "The Determinants of Human Action: The SOAR Model," "On Learning," and "On Teaching," were originally published in Observers and Their Worlds (J.C. Sáez Editor, 2025). The last two, "Listening" and "Modes of Speaking and the Path of Inquiry," appeared in Actos de Lenguaje, Vol. I (J.C. Sáez, Editor, 2007).
    
    On Learning was originally published to provide supplementary material to students in training programs aimed at teachers and educational administrators, but they contain contributions to the field of teaching and learning that are relevant to a broader audience. For this reason the publisher has chosen to make it more widely available, in English.
    
    While this book may be read easily without any previous understanding of Rafael Echeverría's proposals, readers may be drawn to explore his wider body of work, much of which has been published in Spanish by our publishing house and is now becoming available in English. The titles can be found on the inside flap of this edition.

    An honest, heartfelt account of the journey to becoming an independently published author. 
    Have you ever wondered if it's too late to chase a dream? 
    Six years ago, Pauline Wilson retired from a full-time career and did something most people only talk about: she became a published author. Not once, but three times. 
    In Becoming an Indie Author Pauline shares the self-doubt, the steep learning curves, the thrill of holding a finished book, and the quiet determination that kept her going when fear said stop. 
    This isn't a step-by-step publishing manual. It's the story behind the story — what it really feels like to write your first novel, navigate the maze of self-publishing, build an author platform from scratch, and put your work into the world. Pauline covers everything from finding your voice and wrestling with research, to editing, cover design, marketing, and the surprising emotional cost of it all. 
     If you've ever quietly wondered whether your dream of writing is still possible, this book is for you.
