Meditation in the College Classroom compels readers to seriously consider incorporating meditation in their classroom. At a time when such a large segment of the college student population is battling uncertainty, anxiety, and distraction, this remarkable book is the complete package for anyone wanting to incorporate meditation into their classroom but has needed more practical support to feel comfortable getting started.

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.

This book is like having a coach on your shoulder to guide you step-by-step through many aspects of introducing and teaching meditation in the classroom. It will help many people feel more confident implementing this contemplative approach into learning spaces. I highly recommend it.
