This book has it all! I have read over 20 books touting mindfulness research in an educational setting – so many of them are for beginners seem to be written for an ideal classroom that does not exist. This book is full of the newest research and applications for the classroom.

It hits on interdisciplinary levels, such as social emotional learning, and the fixed/growth mindset.

Chris Thompson

Qantas Airways

As a safety team we have added mindfulness and mental health to our monthly agenda for discussion and have looked at ways to keep it integrated and current with the team. Our sales team are constantly being trained on new ideas, products, etc and things can often lose traction quickly due to the fluid nature of their role. The fact that the team have driven the behaviours and relevance of the training as much as the leadership team and the fact that their engagement is still so high 6 weeks later is fantastic and the best endorsement I can offer.

Chris Bartlett

Area Sales Manager, Bunnings
