Steven Haberlin’s Meditation in the College Classroom offers us a well-crafted guide into this important supplement for teachers in higher education. Personal and thoroughly researched, Haberlin’s book is a rich and comprehensive investigation of the topic. It is rare to find a practical and accessible book on meditation whose author also understands the nuances of the practice. The insights and breadth of knowledge makes this an invaluable resource. It is useful for beginners as well as for educators who have already begun exploring the proven benefits of a mindful classroom.
