The Soul of Education
Inspiring Spiritually Compassionate Changemakers
How can education nurture the whole person?
Co-authored with James Biddulph, The Soul of Education explores how schooling can support academic learning alongside character, compassion and spiritual insight. Drawing on educational research, Vedic philosophy and classroom practice, it asks how education can help young people develop purpose, responsibility and connection.
The Question Behind the Book
What should education help a young person become?
Beyond achievement and assessment, schools shape how children understand themselves, relate to others and find meaning in their lives. The Soul of Education asks how the moral, spiritual and relational dimensions of schooling can become part of everyday educational practice.
