About this title

Review

"The Inner Apprentice explores the role of the teacher in the learning process and demonstrates how changes in balance between teacher and learner can influence learning itself. The book draws on examples from the philosophers and legends of Ancient Greece, from the apprentice-masters of medieval Europe, from the fiction of modern literature, and films from the sportsmen of today to illuminate with clarity the philosophy and principles that can enhance the learning process. It introduces the concept of awareness-based teaching and shows how specific awareness-raising techniques can aid the way in which people learn."
―From the Foreword by Bill Styles
