Recenzii

“Lisa Klein’s book captures a career at the chalkface, the challenges, joys and moments to shine that teachers can engineer, all infused with a heartfelt compassion and honesty. The role of mindfulness and compassion in Lisa’s journey show a deep conviction that contemplative practice can enhance all aspects of the teacher and their art, ranging from pedagogy to dealing with trauma and stress. She has written a book that all working in education should read.”
-Graeme Nixon, Ph.D., Professor and Programme Director, Studies in Mindfulness, University of Aberdeen
 “Lisa Klein's book is a must read for teachers who are practicing meditation/mindfulness or thinking about starting a meditation practice.  The book is filled with daily examples for how meditation/mindfulness can be helpful to a teacher. Lisa includes her journey as a teacher and how meditation was helpful at each stage. This book will resonate with teachers seeking ways to improve their practice as well as nourish their wellbeing.”
