About The Book
Education Is Freedom is where humanity goes to school.
Education is Freedom explores the transformative power of education and its ability to liberate individuals and societies from the constraints of ignorance, inequality, and oppression. In this book, author James Keyes explores the ways education empowers people to take control of their lives, to pursue their dreams, and to contribute to the world in meaningful and fulfilling ways. He provides a roadmap to the “why,” “what,” and “how” of learning. The book outlines the importance of education for all mankind, the power of education to change our world, and the wisdom to unlock our personal freedom while preserving our democracy.
Where does humanity go to school?
Democracy across the world is at risk. With the polarization of today’s society, the foundational right to freedom of speech is now being challenged from all sides. The truth is under siege as misinformation and hostility have replaced critical thinking and civil discourse. Our freedom of self-determination has a prerequisite: an informed electorate. If that electorate is armed with false information or is influenced by outside forces, their actions and reactions can put democracy in jeopardy.
Today, more than ever, we must nurture the education, knowledge and wisdom of individuals to discern right from wrong, truth from fiction, and success from failure. If learning is the key to success, then how can humanity advance its own cause? Our forefathers recognized that an educated populace was the very foundation of democracy. Education is a self-help guide for humanity that allows us to individually and collectively understand the roadmap to freedom.
For the individual, education is the one common denominator that separates those who are free from the ones trapped in their own reality. “Someone can take your money, your material things, your job…but they can’t take away what you know. With knowledge you can replace anything lost, you can be free to explore the world, you are beholden to no one.” Whatever challenges or adversity you face in life, embracing a learning mentality will empower you and set you free.
Humanity must indeed go back to school, because the future is in our hands!

“James Keyes benefitted from learning music and his instrument at a young age, and he credits music for building his character and leading to his success. But music is a lifetime of learning. I am motivated by the great composers who wrote sometimes hundreds of years ago but continue to touch millions of people and will do so forever. Music helps me explore languages, history, art and culture. Music is self-reflection and a music instrument is a lifelong friend who never betrays you. I applaud Jim’s new book for reminding us that education truly is the most important opportunity we can offer children.”
– Fabio Luisi, Music Director, Dallas Symphony Orchestra, principal conductor, Danish National Symphony Orchestra; chief conductor, NHK Symphony Orchestra
