Happy teachers change the world : a guide for integrating mindfulness in education / Thích Nhất Hạnh, Katherine Weare.

'Happy Teachers Change the World' is the first official, authoritative manual of the Thích Nhất Hạnh/Plum Village approach to mindfulness in education. Spanning the whole range of schools and grade levels, from preschool through higher education, these techniques are grounded in the everyday world of schools, colleges, and universities. Beginning firmly with teachers and all those working with students, including administrators, counsellors, and other personnel, the Plum Village approach stresses that educators must first establish their own mindfulness practice, everything they do in the classroom will be based on that foundation. The book includes easy-to-follow, step-by-step techniques perfected by educators to teach themselves and to apply to their work with students and colleagues, along with inspirational stories of the ways in which teachers have made mindfulness practice alive.
