Full Description
Beyond Thinking presents a radical idea: while thinking is the superstar of education, the pervasive crisis of student mental health and chronic teacher stress proves we must learn to go beyond thinking to find well-being and wisdom. This book offers an essential roadmap for cultivating mindfulness—the awareness that allows us to use our powerful minds as tools without being trapped by unhelpful patterns like the inner critic or the worry spiral. Backed by neuroscience and grounded in practical skills, Beyond Thinking shows how education can align with the universal aspiration of well-being. It highlights how meaningful transformation in education begins with the adults, leading to a lasting impact on students.
