Praise for Dr. Jefferies’ book
“There is enough wisdom in Dr. Kathryn Jefferies’ book to change our world – a world that has forgotten the distinction between knowledge and wisdom, and which, as a consequence, is seriously imperiled. Awake is a wakeup call to the potency and primacy of consciousness. This is not a book to be contemplated at leisure, but with a profound sense of urgency, because time is not on our side. Written with grace, style and passion, Awake belongs on the top of your stack. Highly recommended.”
Larry Dossey, MD best-selling author of twelve books, including One Mind: How Our Individual Mind Is Part of a Greater Consciousness and Why It Matters
Kathryn Jefferies’ is a visionary philosopher of education and her manifesto offers us the guide we desperately need. I predict that Kathryn Jefferies work will be spoken of for years to come.
Annie Simpson, M.Ed. | Assistant Director, Institute for Leadership Education in Engineering, Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering | University of Toronto
“Along with Sir Ken Robinson’s Creative Schools, Dr. Kathryn Jefferies’ book Awake: Education for Enlightenment makes this the one-two punch of game-changing books on education! This is all we need.”
Jennifer Colford, International best-selling author of Managing Mothering: Simple Shifts To Help You Become The Best Mom On The Planet
