I was just going to leave this as the standard description from Scott’s page, but I must say, as I listen to this guy, he describes EXACTLY what goes on for me when I need to learn something ‘for my best economic interests’. Here’s Scott’s intro paragraph:

Scott’s in Sweden and he sits down with well-known Software Tester James Bach to talk about what it means to be an unconventional learner. James has had success in the software industry even though he dropped out of school at age 14. His new book “Secrets of a Buccaneer-Scholar” explores the issue of nontraditional learning as it relates to success later in life.
