Additional Info:
This collection draws together the most important teachers and spiritual figures of our time to help students, teachers, parents, and lifelong learners understand more about why we learn and teach. The Heart of Learning shows how learning can be far more than an intellectual process - that it can be a way to connect with the mysteries and wonders both in ourselves and in the world. The book welcomes the spirit back into the learning process without dogmatism or exclusion. It provides a unified, inspiring, and immensely practical new paradigm for how learning can mean more, accomplish more, and inspire the best in each of us. (From the Publisher)
