Reviews
"""As a prevention specialist whose job it was to work closely with people--students, teachers, parents--I witnessed firsthand the devastating effects COVID had on people, especially those who were already under stress for any number of issues. But I'm not unique. Everyone can see the wreckage the pandemic visited upon us. What I haven't seen much of, though, is solutions, bright ideas for helping educators through not just the pandemic but all of its lingering effects. Until now. In Renewing the Joys of Teaching, Dr. Graves takes the reader through a set of positive techniques that, I am convinced, can help even the teacher in the depths of malaise find their way back to the fun and the purpose they once found among their students."" ""Graves shrinks the timeline of history, allowing the words of Marcus Aurelius and other Stoics to inform and guide today's teachers. Graves' thoughtful insights will prompt conversation and debate among educators and laypeople alike."" ""Many of us still find ourselves in an emotional malaise. Luckily, Dr. Graves shows us the way forward. His thoughtful, insightful, and accessible work can help any of us re-discover the joy of our professional calling."" ""Renewing the Joys of Teaching resurrects the best of Stoic philosophy and applies it to the post-Covid education landscape in practical, usable ways. Educators will find insight, joy, and renewal in the problem-solving skills of the Stoics, which are helpfully summarized and organized by Joseph Graves."""
