—Parker J. Palmer, author, The Heart of Higher Education, A Hidden Wholeness, Let Your Life Speak, and The Courage to Teach
"An extremely important book for layperson and professional
alike. A stunning wake-up call for higher education—highly
recommended!"
—Ken Wilber, author, The Integral Vision
"Cultivating the Spirit makes a unique and important
contribution to one of the least examined yet most fundamental
questions about undergraduate education: how students acquire the
values and convictions that help to give meaning and purpose to
their lives.... The authors provide a wealth of valuable findings
about this vital process and its effects on student achievement,
well-being, and personal growth in college."
—Derek Bok, former president, Harvard University, and
author, The Politics of Happiness
"The fruit of a decade of elegantly designed and compelling
research, Cultivating the Spirit provides timely and
significant data for reorienting the conversation about the
relationships among intellectual inquiry, traditional academic
values, and the formation of the inner life. Informative, clearly
written, essential, and evocative reading for today's faculty
across all institutions—public and private, secular and
religious."
—Sharon Daloz Parks, author, Big Questions,
Worthy Dreams and Leadership Can Be Taught
