“This is the no-nonsense guide to cultivating positive emotions that many listeners can really use right now. The authors teach practical ways to gain focus, to harness gratitude and movement, and to illicit positivity, empathy, and kindness. They also impart the fascinating science behind mental well-being and how to cultivate it. Since the audiobook describes but does not actually guide listeners through the direct practices, narrator Callie Beaulieu makes the wise choice to speak quickly and purposefully. This direct approach inspires listeners to change their psychology and physiology through shifts in both thought and physical posture expected consequences of technology use and increase positive connections, which ultimately lead to enhanced well-being.” -- J.T. © AudioFile

We all want lives filled with balance, ease and contentment, but how do we get there? In Pathways to Well-Being, authors Susan Brooks-Young and Sara Armstrong share steps to increasing well-being and discuss how six elements — gratitude, positivity, focus, empathy, kindness and movement — impact daily life. All of us, especially educators, influence those around us — in our schools, in our communities and ultimately throughout the world. When we work toward supporting well-being for ourselves and others, our lives are enriched immensely.
Through the information and activities in this book, educators will find ways to reduce the stress in their lives and grow their sense of well-being.
