"Food for Thought"
I enjoyed this book. Palmer has lots of ideas and the book is kind of a reflective work on his career. The book ends with a call to action but fortunately it is relatively short. I like most of his ideas and will listen to this book again. Palmer gives a lot of food for thought and is easy to listen to, excellent narration.

"Informative and Reflective"
If you could sum up The Courage to Teach in three words, what would they be?Encouraging, Uplifting, and Connecting
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Courage to Teach?Everyone has the "horror student" moments. Parker Palmer's "horror student" story was shared in a particularly heartfelt and honest way.
Which character – as performed by Stefan Rudnicki – was your favorite?Entire story told in a clear and comforting tone and pace.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?The overall idea that art of teaching starts within.
This is what I need to keep reminding myself of when I am particularly challenged by students, parents, colleagues or administration.
