"Lisa Klein's book captures a career at the chalkface, the challenges, joys and moments to shine that teachers can engineer, all infused with a heartfelt compassion and honesty. The role of mindfulness and compassion in Lisa's journey show a deep conviction that contemplative practice can enhance all aspects of the teacher and their art, ranging from pedagogy to dealing with trauma and stress. She has written a book that all working in education should read."
