Peripheral Visions Learning along the Way by Mary C. Bateson

Peripheral Visions invites readers into Mary C. Bateson's reflective exploration of how we learn through life's unexpected moments and tangential experiences. Drawing on her background in anthropology and her observations across cultures, Bateson argues that true wisdom often emerges not from direct focus but from attending to what happens at the edges of our awareness. This philosophical meditation challenges conventional thinking about education and growth, offering insights for anyone seeking deeper understanding of how meaning unfolds through lived experience. A contemplative read for those drawn to literary philosophy and cultural observation.
