Vella sees the path to learning as a holistic, integrated, spiritual, and energetic process. She uses engaging, personal stories of her work in a variety of adult learning settings, in different countries and with different educational purposes, to show readers how to utilize the twelve principles in their own practice with any type of adult learner, anywhere.

Read More Rating: - How to be a Listener yet a TeacherThis is an excellent text for today's teachers. It helps the teacher move from the monologue style (lecture style) of teaching into a more improved style of teaching (the dialogue style).
