What People Are Saying:

“There are now quite a few books on the applications of mindfulness in educational settings. Among them, I find Communicating Mindfully exceptional in the depth of awareness embodied in its perspective. This is the kind of depth needed in fostering significant development in education.”

    “Dan Huston is doing important work that is grounded in both personal experience and careful research in a field that is growing in importance.

    As the practice of mindfulness extends into the field of education it is important that the integration be done by informed, skilled practitioners. Dan’s book promises to play a critical role in this process, helping to ensure that mindfulness is used by teachers in a way that is consistent with a practice that is ancient and also contemporary, supported by a growing number of research studies on its effects on health and well-being.

    If used wisely, mindfulness has the potential to transform schools by transforming students’ lives—helping them to become more self-aware, less stressed, and more engaged in their education. Communicating Mindfully can play a vital role in making that happen.”
