EBOOK – The enchantment of the self-discovery

“The Enchantment of Self-Discovery” is a book co-written by Esperanza Chacón and Edgar Espinosa. The work focuses on the concept of “non-directivity” as a fundamental axis in the processes of learning and human development.

The book is based on the authors’ experiences in the field of alternative education, particularly in an approach that relies on the inherent potential of human beings to learn and grow on their own. It advocates for the creation of supportive and respectful environments where people, especially children and adolescents, can discover themselves without the imposition of external direction.
