Description

"Higher education has historically done well in fostering teaching and learning with respect to critical reasoning and quantitative analysis--what might be described as higher-order thinking skills. But in our culture today, which can best be described as one kind of distraction, we also need an education--a kind of thinking, of being, of knowing--that fosters teaching and learning that develops contemplative methods and practice. This kind of learning teaches students to be reflective, to be mindful, and to pay attention."--From publisher.
