"Learning by Design: It's Not What You Know, But How You Think" by Kendra Shimmell
The approach Shimmell describes is the complete antithesis of rote learning, or learning off answer 'patterns' to questions and challenges posed in traditional educational settings. Rather than dealing with, indeed training ourselves for, bounded well-known solvable challenges, real design is done amidst the messy uncertainty of possibly evolving contexts, anxiety, doubt and the unknown.
A certain quantum of bravery (and ignorance) is needed, along with hard slog, inspiration and serendipity.
