IF HOLDEN CAULFIELD WERE IN MY CLASSROOM

With this bold, intimate story about the power of love, authenticity, and caring to ignite real education, Bernie Schein offers us a front row seat in his classroom—if we can stand the heat. And Schein’s formula is so simple: He midwives the innate wisdom and goodness of his students by risking to be himself and making it safe for them to do the same. Every teacher in America should read this book.

—Chris Mercogliano, author of Making It Up As We Go Along, Teaching the Restless, How to Grow a School, and In Defense of Childhood

Huston Smith

CLEANSING THE DOORS OF PERCEPTION

Now in a paperback edition, Cleansing the Doors of Perception, by renowned philosopher and scholar of religion Huston Smith, takes a serious look at the use of psychedelic drugs as a means to achieve mystical union with the divine. In a unique blend of direct experience and academic depth, Smith examines this controversial subject and describes the historic and turbulent academic experiments of the sixties in which he was both a subject and an observer.

Nancy Whitney-Reiter

UNPLUGGED

How to Disconnect from the Rat Race, Have an Existential Crisis, and Find Meaning and Fulfillment

Nancy Whitney-Reiter survived the attacks of 9/11, left her job at a Fortune 500 company, and embarked on a year of international travel and soul searching. By giving herself time and space for self-reflection—unplugging—she was then able to build a new life based on vital interests.

Nancy Whitney-Reiter

UNPLUGGED

"Nancy’s book is not only inspirational, it’s amazingly informative. She doesn’t just talk about the need to get unplugged sometimes, she tells you exactly how to do it. Everything from distinguishing the travel scams from the legitimate offers to how to pack, and utilize insurance. She’s lived it all, from a few days away, to months". — Sunny Schlenger
