"Personal Teaching"

This book is an excellent source for teachers, combining the author's reveloutionary ideas and theories about education, examples of how these worked for him, and the basic structure of education and how to use it best. Though it is a non-fiction book, it has the quality of witty and clever writing that makes it impossible to put down. Even if you are not interested in educational psychology it is very interesting, as much so as a novel!! The excellent thoughts conveyed in this book would help anyone who interacts with others in the way of a teacher. Parents, teachers, professors, religious leaders, and company heads will enjoy this book especially for its theories, but I recommend it to anyone, for it relays a series of very amusing yet thought-provoking experience. Even the appendix is clever and funny. This is a top-notch book.
