The Courage to Teach: Exploring the inner landscape of a teacher's life

A moving, profound, and exhilarating journey toward discovering the true spirit of teaching.

"To go on this journey with Parker Palmer into the uncharted territory of the self in teaching is not only to experience the joy of viewing teaching from a thrilling new perspective.  It is also to be in the presence of a great teacher who, by sharing himself so openly and honestly, engages us in the very kind of teaching his so eloquently describes."

- Russell Edgerton

"A profoundly moving, utterly passionate, and inspired articulation of the call to, and the pain and joy of, teaching.  It is must reading for any and every teacher, at any level."

- Jon Kabat-Zinn

"This book is good news -- not just for classroom teachers and educators, but for all of us who are committed to the healing of our world."

- Joanna Macy
