The Heart of Higher Education is an invitation to everyone who cares about the academy to revisit its roots and help reclaim its highest calling. Parker J. Palmer, best-selling author of The Courage to Teach and founder of the Center for Courage & Renewal, and Arthur Zajonc, professor of physics and director of the Center for Contemplative Mind in Society, advocate a holistic approach to teaching and learning that honors the whole human being--mind, heart, and spirit. The Heart of Higher Education offers a rich interplay of analysis, theory, and action options and models to help colleges and universities become places that awaken the deepest potential in students, faculty, and staff. The authors propose an approach to educational renewal grounded in collegiality and conversation. The Heart of Higher Education is for all who are new to the field of integrative education, all who want to deepen their understanding of its challenges and prospects, and all who want to practice and promote this vital approach to teaching and learning on their campuses.
Palmer and Zajonc have issued a compelling call for change andrenewal in higher education. They show us how colleges anduniversities can be transformed by taking a more integratedapproach to teaching and learning that focuses on the inner livesof their students and faculty.

--Anthony Marx, president, College

Palmer and Zajonc take up this simple butdaunting question and provide the most solid ground yet on which tohold a conversation about the heart of our enterprise. Theyreimagine higher education in a way commensurate with the magnitudeof our problems and offer us practical paths toward implementation.Integrative education is the most important reformation of higherlearning since the rise of the modern university. This book canhelp us achieve it."
--Anthony Lising Antonio, associate professor of education andassociate director, Stanford Institute for Higher EducationResearch, Stanford University
"[The book] strikes a welcome balance between theoreticalclaims and practical applications. I find [it] a worthy read foranyone interested in asking the deeper questions about what itmeans to educate an undergraduate. I encourage you to find theparagraphs that resonate most deeply with you, and to do the onething the authors ask of us: have a meaningful conversation abouthigher education with a few colleagues. For, as they put it,'renewal...will germinate first in the soil of thesecaring and collegial conversations.'"
