The Stoic Teacher: Ancient Mind Hacks to Help Educators Foster Resiliency, Optimism, and Inner Calm - Paperback

by Ryan Racine (Author)

In this practical and accessible self-help book for educators, teacher and well-known student of Stoicism, Ryan Racine, shows us how the ancient philosophy can help teachers deal with day-to-day stresses, manage classroom behavior better, and strive to become better teachers! The book, the first to teach Stoicism for teachers, is full of important lessons such as:

• focusing on what you can control and letting go of what you can't
• preparing for problems without anxiety
• creating realistic and achievable goals
• fostering an attitude of gratitude for what went well even on a bad day.

Written in a warm tone, The Stoic Teacher intertwines discussion of ancient philosophy with practical activities to help teachers apply Stoicism to their teaching practice. Discussion questions, and a chapter of reflections from teachers using Stoicism can inspire you to find a way to use what you've learned!

Whether you're looking for a little help dealing with some difficulties or hoping to embrace a new outlook on life, whether you read it cover-to-cover, or pick the chapters you need now, The Stoic Teacher has something for everyone!
