Review Teaching Mindfulness to Empower Adolescents is a gorgeous gift in learning how to raise a generation of empaths. I am so grateful for the lesson in building relationships, leaving space, and establishing personal relevance. As a parent and individual, I felt deep support and a renewed understanding in the most important teachings and practices a person can have. I particularly loved this books guidance on the reminder to make space to listen. Thank you to JoAnna Hardy, Matthew Brensilver, and Oren Jay Sofer for bringing such essential teaching to light.--Laura Dern, Actor and ProducerIn Teaching Mindfulness to Adolescents, the what (curriculum) is important, but not as important as the how (quality of the teachers presence and mindset). This book shows the way to give life to mindfulness teaching with authenticity, ethics, and integrity--always starting with, and coming back to, the teachers own personal mindfulness practice. I highly recommended it to all adults who wants to bring mindfulness to youth, and to all adults who care deeply about young people.--Dzung X. Vo, M.D., author of The Mindful Teen: Powerful Skills to Help You Handle Stress One Moment at a Time Review Quote "Wise and revolutionary. These are skilled and caring teachers giving you the real deal. They show how to soothe, inspire, and awaken the teenage spirit."
