The Longevity Book Club:
A Conversation with Isabelle Hau
March 13, 2025

Children need to be loved, to be valued, to interact, and to be listened to. When children have the space and time to play and explore through nurturing positive relationships, then children learn. But loving relationships are precisely what so many children are missing, and modern factors are making it more difficult for children to build these necessary bonds.

Love to Learn offers a vision for a future where learning is relational, and love is a literacy. It is a provocative paradigm shift, from child-centered education to relationship-centered learning. It weaves in stories of perseverance, empathy, creativity, and showcases innovations anchored in the latest neuroscience and technology advance – all driven by the desire to unlock the inherent human potential in any child.

On March 13th, Isabelle spoke with Ken and Martha about her new book, and discussed how Love To Learn seeks to change how we raise our children, how we run early learning environments, and how we construct care-full communities.
