The Contemplative Practitioner: Meditation in Education and the Workplace, Second Edition

‘I would recommend it as an excellent introductory text to those interested in introducing contemplative practice to their own lives or those currently teaching mindfulness in schools or higher education.’

Ruth Roberts, International Journal of Children’s Spirituality vol 20:01:2015

“Jack Miller has been in the vanguard as a contemplative practitioner and leading figure in the uses of meditation in education and the workplace. In this volume we are offered the mature fruits of many years of work that has been seminal to the contemplative education movement. I recommend The Contemplative Practitioner highly as a lucid and comprehensive treatment of an important emerging discipline within educational and workplace settings.” Arthur Zajonc, Andrew W. Mellon Professor of Physics Emeritus, Amherst College, and author of Meditation as Contemplative Inquiry: When Knowing Becomes Love

“The Contemplative Practitioner has everything – theoretical, historical, biographical, empirical, and practical material – from an educator of international reputation and a leading authority in the field of contemplative and holistic education.”

“In this pioneering work, Professor John P. Miller has realized an authentic meeting between Eastern and Western approaches to education, owing in part to his decades of meditation experience. His steady commitment to Asian educators since his first visit to Japan in 1994 has encouraged us to reflect on our spiritual heritage and to recognize the essential importance of contemplation for the future of education.”
