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.
