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)

💪 ,,Atunci când ai încredere în viziunea ta, muncești cu pasiune și entuziasm, chiar dacă este foarte greu, poți depăși orice obstacol, pentru a obține ceea ce îți dorești cu adevărat. “

👓 ,,Disconfortul creat de durere poate fi multiplicat dacă alegi lentila dramei și a victimei, sau poate fi ușurat dacă alegi lentila realității și a încrederii. “

Great advice on how to be more aware of yourself and your teaching, how to look at the positive and stay happy in the classroom and outside.
