"An eye-opening critique of contemporary [education] approaches... shows in concrete forms how to be a teacher and learner in the search for truth." -- Henri J. M. Nouwen, theologian and author of The Return of the Prodigal Son and The Way of the Heart

This primer on authentic education explores how mind and heart can work together in the learning process. Moving beyond the bankruptcy of our current model of education, Parker Palmer finds the soul of education through a lifelong cultivation of the wisdom each of us possesses and can share to benefit others.

"A phenomenon in higher education." -- The New York Times

"Palmer's book will engage anyone who's involved in teaching and learning either in secular or religious institutions... it compels us to underline and reflect at nearly every sentence and paragraph... it unfolds how exciting and joyful the search for knowledge is when guided by heart-seeking teachers." -- James Sparks, University of Wisconsin, Madison

"Without a doubt the most inspiring book on education I have read in a long time." -- John H. Westerhoff III, Duke University
