Guiding Lights: The People Who Lead us Toward Our Purpose in Life
by Eric Liu
Random House, 2004
ISBN: 0375508635This engaging book is about falling in love with learning and moving learning into living. Author Eric Liu writes, "All thinking is analogy-making. All learning is analogy-finding. All teaching is analogy-showing." His book is filled with analogies drawn from his own fascinating life and from the mentors he spent two years observing and working with as he experienced their processes of teaching and empowering. These experiences took him to hundreds of locations including schools, a baseball training camp, dance and music studios, corporate offices, a prison, a gangland "hood" and an Ivy League college. Liu has woven a richly colored and textured tapestry of learning from a variety of cultures and occupations, as well as failings and strivings and successes that mark contemporary life in the United States. Every teacher and learner should own this book.
