This week I’m sharing part 3 of the audiobook edition of my book, The Unschooling Journey: A Field Guide.

Master of the Two Worlds: Seeing Possibilities Everywhere
We’ve talked a lot lately about the two worlds—the unschooling/unconventional world and the conventional world—and how, in the return phase of our journey, we’re working to knit them together.
