Based on the latest research
in the field of neuroscience, the book incorporates the concept of the Five Core Concerns, developed by two professors from Harvard University, Daniel Shapiro and Roger Fisher in the book entitled Beyond Reason Using Emotions as You Negotiate. The model adapted for The Teacher Within helps the reader discover ways to use their emotions in a helpful manner for a life lived in harmony, with greater awareness.
You may wonder…
Why the glasses?
Many of the techniques we brought together are invisible to most educators.
So the book actually works like putting on a new pair of glasses, Happy Teachers’ Glasses.
Once you put them on, you shift your paradigm towards positive thinking and see opportunities for growth instead of difficulties. You will commit to acts of kindness towards yourself and others.
The two authors, Simona and Susan wrote this book to give every teacher out there a guide to teach with care and kindness. .

“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."

"You're not permitted to shatter any dream they dream. On the contrary. Expand them. You don't know what to teach them: 40 years from now all will be obsolete. And then what's left? This capacity to understand. To grasp, to have intact humanity. To connect to universal humanity. To find the language that enlarges the idea. I go out into the street and smile to the infinite symphony of the human spirit, at the great inventions... and I rejoice to belong, and even more, maybe contribute."
