The Teacher Within is a journey of self-discovery for teachers to look within and be their best. This book channels a path to teaching from the heart and power to nurture a love for life-long learning.
TL;DR: really good book for harmonising your work life with your personal life, regardless of your field of work.
I used to be a teacher until June, this year (I still work in education, but I have specialised in helping professionals implement specific processes in the school).
My colleagues told me about this book, I picked it up from our library and read it in 2 days or so. It presents invaluable techniques and pieces of information, not only for people working in education, that make a real difference in the nature of the impact one's work has on one's life.
I am now going through the exercises, taking them one day at a time and although I am well acquainted with mindfulness and meditation, the way they are outlined in "The Teacher Within" helps me correlate them to my work and I generally feel better.
If I had to only take away one thing from the book, it would be the breathing meditations, as they are tailored to address work issues.
In short, it's a wonderful book, I keep recommending it so much so that my girlfriend is reading it now, and she studies law (so no link with teaching whatsoever)
