<i>‘As scholars of learning we need to constantly challenge our assumptions, take a learning brain perspective, and see beyond the obvious when things change or are used in different contexts. Jones’s journey of thinking does this. Supported by extensive research insights, this is a book that challenges, informs, and illuminates.’</i>

- Andy Penaluna, University of Wales Trinity Saint David, UK,

<i>‘Professor Jones has again managed to challenge our taken for granted assumptions on how to approach entrepreneurial education. He does so by provoking a critical reflection on our practices and how to envision an unknown future. The book provides a fresh perspective and call for introspection on why we teach, how we teach, and what we teach.’</i>

- Gustav Hägg, Malmö University, Sweden,
