Summary:
"Academics often speak about
love
for
their
subject, mathematicians discuss
their
love
for figures and numbers, and elementary school teachers speak about
their
love
of children. As multidimensional as
love
is, it is often a taboo subject relative to teachers and students. John P. Miller explores different forms of
love
, including self-love, the
love
of others,
compassion
, the
love
of learning, and cosmic
love
, and how these dimensions of
love
have the potential to improve
education
. Unlike most teaching guides,
Love
and
Compassion
is both a practical and conceptual work, and will interest those involved in the study and practise of holistic and contemplative
education
. Based on Barbara Frederickson's foundational research on cultivating happiness and health during moments of connectivity, Miller evaluates the seven dimensions of
love
, including nonviolent action, and the
love
of beauty, and how they are crucial to the practise of teaching. Miller concludes with a reflection on his own experiences developing
love
and
compassion
in his classes. John P. Miller is a professor in the Department of Curriculum, Teaching, and Learning at the Ontario Institute for Studies in
Education
, University of Toronto. He is the author or editor of 17 books on holistic learning and contemplative practices in
education
