Produktbeschreibung

Teaching Realistic Optimism: How to Approach Teaching and Learning with Hope is about inspiring hope and optimism in a service-oriented life. When an individual is expected to give so much life can be exhausting, and consequently it becomes even more difficult to find inspiration to focus on positive events. Although written specifically for educators, this book shares strategies and ways of thinking that are applicable for everyone. Do you tend to ruminate? Do you have a propensity to catastrophize? Do you find yourself possessing a worldview that is contextualized in shame and guilt? This book is designed for individuals hoping to reclaim joy from a realistically optimistic mindset.
