Why read it?

1 author picked Love and Living as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This was one of the last pieces Merton wrote before his life was cut short in 1967 and I believe that he outlined both the problems with education in the modern world as well as a possible solution in an accessible way. I often go back to the first chapter in this work as a foundation for my own understanding of teaching and learning. It is truly inspiring!

From William's list on to make you rethink life and learning.
