The base of a healthy diet is finding the optimal balance between the different food groups. Unfortunately there is one big group that is just plain unhealthy and bad for you but so incredibly appealing and tasty. Nonetheless, most of us struggle to get our nutrition right but there are still things we prefer above others and when we are presented with the perfect plate that just has everything we need but very little of what we like we are not that happy with it.

Apparently, an acquaintance challenged my colleague Harold Jarche’s Personal Knowledge Mastery (PKM) model. He seemed to consider the possibility that it’s a fad. Well, I do argue people should be cautious about claims. So, I’ve talked about PKM before , but I want to elaborate. Here’s my take on the case for PKM. As context, I think meta-learning, learning to learn, is an important suite of skills to master.
