Philosophy & theory of education; Advice on careers & achieving success

Learn how to thrive in work and life using Montessori principles.

In her new book Alignment, Dr. Katie Keller Wood

shows us that we have to stop striving for some impossible, made-up

construct called ""balance"" and instead start focusing on maintaining a

healthy alliance between our work and our non-work. There is overlap,

she argues, between our work and our lives, and this connection is

essential to our highest functioning. Ultimately, the best way to think

of our lives is not as a balance scale but as a mosaic, with all our

""tiles"" (work, family, friendship, etc.) in some form of optimal,

albeit

continuously shifting, alignment.

Using key Montessori

education

principles and frameworks, and drawing on two decades of

experience

teaching adolescents and adults, Dr. Wood shows us that it

is possible

to thrive in work and in our messy, complicated, and

beautiful lives

while still making a difference in the lives of others.
