In a world in which educational leaders report immense overwhelm at work and an almost unending sense of stress, this book offers explicit practices to help educational leaders learn to pay attention to themselves and their surroundings. Exploring recent research, as well as including practical suggestions on when to practice mindfulness, how to know if you are "doing it right" and how to fit  into a busy work life, this guide shows school leaders how they can begin to create quiet and calm in their work lives so as to positively affect their schools, districts, staff and students.
