Reviews
'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 Practitionerhighly 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 Practitionerhas 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." --Heesoon Bai, Faculty of Education, Simon Fraser University "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." --Yoshiharu Nakagawa, Department of Education and Culture, Doshisha University, and author of Education for Awakening, '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.

Synopsis
Meditation is a simple and practical activity that can enrich our lives and work in innumerable ways. It allows us to connect more deeply to ourselves and others and to the environment. In this book, John P. Miller, an expert in the field of holistic education, looks at mediation and how it can be integrated into one's work and daily life. Twenty years after it was first published, Miller's book remains one of the best guides to applying contemplative practice, covering a variety of theoretical, empirical, historical, and cross-cultural approaches. For this new edition, Miller has updated the text to reflect the growth of the mindfulness movement, new research into the brain, and his years of experience teaching and practising contemplation in teacher education. Whether one is interested in exploring how meditation can be used in the classroom or the workplace, or simply seeking to integrate it into one's personal life, The Contemplative Practitioneris the perfect companion., Meditation is a simple and practical activity that can enrich our lives and work in innumerable ways.
