The Flourishing Factor: Unlocking the Power of Self-Compassion for Thriving Educators (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781923403703)

Teaching is one of the most rewarding professions on earth - and one of the most demanding. So why do we so rarely extend to ourselves the care and kindness we pour into others every day?

In this warm, evidence-based guide, positive psychology coach and educator Chris Egan makes a compelling case for self-compassion as the missing ingredient in educator wellbeing. Drawing on 20+ years of robust research, 35 years in education, and the real stories of teachers and school leaders who have transformed their inner lives, this book offers a practical roadmap for moving from burnout and self-criticism towards genuine flourishing.

With reflective prompts, innovative practices, and honest stories from the classroom and beyond, The Flourishing Factor meets educators exactly where they are - and gently, powerfully, invites them somewhere better.

Because the same compassion you give your students? You deserve it, too.
