Reviews

Teacher of twenty-five years, professor, and author Tony Armstrong challenges us to reform our schools and educate our youth by teaching a happiness curriculum in kindergarten through college. Armstrong argues that the ultimate goal in life is happiness; thus, we should teach and prepare our youth to reach this goal. The happiness pedagogy teaches youth to be mindful of their own and others' feelings. It also teaches students to develop self-actualization and how to understand their thoughts and reasoning as well as those others. It fosters creative behavior, philosophizing, and learning about world religions. This book has potential to give our education system a facelift. Educating Angels is informative, as well as positive and upbeat. It is an empowering read for educators and parents. It is well researched: Armstrong clearly justifies why and how students need to learn how to use their feelings to learn. To create a happiness pedagogy, educators will develop activities for their students which practice using inner awareness, social awareness, means to influence feelings, expression, and engagement and inquiry. It is thought that, through this curriculum, students will become better citizens and happier people. This book has the potential to be the next big evolutional movement in education. Consider this title a must-have for professional collections in school and public libraries.
