Review

The Soul of Education offers an inspiring, hopeful, and much-needed antidote to the malaise that afflicts too many children . . . a practical, inclusive, and sensitive guide for helping young people connect with their spiritual yearnings. -- Dan Goleman, author of Emotional Intelligence

Kessler celebrates the diversity of beliefs in our free country. . . . But she wisely understands the spiritual emptiness of our times and knows that we ignore the souls of our children at their peril, and ours. Children need encouragement and guidance in struggling with the deeper meaning and purpose of life in a society that glorifies the material over the spiritual. -- Marian Wright Edelman, president, The Children's Defense Fund

Wonderfully mature, insightful, and candid about the challenges we all face, smart about how she proceeds toward addressing them, Kessler does a superb job of going to the root of what's most missing in our public education system, reframing and legitimizing it effectively. -- State Senator John Vasconcellos, California
