Education for Life

by Kriyananda

Walters traces the roots of the current problems of our educational system to its indifference to human values. Education for Life is about a new model for education -- one which truly encourages the student to prepare for all of life's challenges, not only academic or intellectual ones. It is an inspiring guide for educators and parents alike, a book that encourages a close look at what true education is, including spiritual and soul development. The Education for Life Foundation offers workshops for teachers and parents, based on the principles taught in this book. For information on their programs call: 916-478-7640.

[Michelle]

This book was given to me by my daughter's yoga/soul lab teacher. I probably would not have picked up this book otherwise.

While there were some pearls of wisdom here and there that I'll take with me. There was nothing ground breaking or eye opening.
