Learn to Ride Elephants - Teaching Happiness and Well-being in Schools

This is a wonderful book, reflecting a remarkable change taking place in our culture... because that's what young people want: to be happy, not in a selfish way (since selfishness causes unhappiness), but because happiness is the true mark of human progress. The British government has now begun to recognize this and has made wellness education an integral part of the national curriculum in England and Wales. For teachers teaching these curricula, this book will be a godsend. At a time when interest in positive psychology and the teaching of wellness and happiness in schools is growing, this book provides an accessible introduction to the proposed theory and offers clear advice on how to implement life-changing ideas in the classroom. With a comprehensive further reading list, more ideas for summer activities, and guidance on wellness curricula in your school, secondary school teachers around the world will find this book invaluable.
