Dr. Schreiner's book, Learning to Love and Loving to Learn, is a breakthrough study dealing with relationships in the family, the immediate family, and the extended family. She teaches the need for a strong spiritual value system as the basis for learning to love and loving to learn. Dr. Schreiner touches on such subjects as appropriate discipline, positive encouragement, helping children to reach their full potential, and how to make learning an exciting adventure for all ages. She deals with relevant problems of the twenty-first century, including such issues as addictions, codependency, and the trap of instant gratification. She stresses the need for families to develop self-control and to set realistic limits. She teaches parents how to develop problem-solving skills in their children so they can live more effectively in our troubled times. The book opens the door for learning to be an exciting adventure as readers learn to love and to love learning. Spiritual growth comes from gaining new information and insight and using that knowledge in your everyday life. The author describes the spiritual principles that bring families closer as they learn about themselves and parents free themselves from effects of having been raised in an addictive, incestuous, or otherwise dysfunctional family. Examples of how children and adults of all ages learn are included in every chapter. The workbook, included at the end of the book, will help readers to identify the effects their parents' words and methods of disciplining and showing love has had on their own self-concept and automatic behaviors. Automatic behaviors are emotional and sometimes physical responses to situations and events that arise because the event unconsciously reminds the reader of a similar childhood happening. Sometimes automatic behaviors are positive and sometimes negative and unwanted. The workbook will help readers to look at and edit the source of their automatic behaviors thereby enabling them to change their undesirable responses.

Grounded in the strengths of its first edition, this book has been restructured to include new papers and recent articles, and presents front-running theory and practice as it addresses the relationships of museums and galleries to their audiences.

The third volume of the collected works of Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi covers his work on the application of flow in areas that go beyond the field of leisure where the concept was first applied. Based on his personal experience with schooling and learning, as well as that of many others and contrary to what Cicero claimed, Csikszentmihalyi arrived at the conclusion that instead of taking pride in making the roots of knowledge as bitter as possible, we should try to make them sweeter. Just as flow became a popular and useful concept in voluntary activities, it could likewise be applied in education with the end result of young people being more likely to continue learning not just because they have to but because they want to. This volume brings together a number of articles in which Csikszentmihalyi develops ideas about how to make education and more generally the process of learning to live a good life, more enjoyable. Since theory is the mother of good practice, the first eleven chapters are devoted to theoretical reflections. Some are general and explore what it means to be a human being, what it means to be a person, when we look at life from the perspective of flow. Others are more narrowly focused on such topics as consumption, education, teaching and learning. They help laypeople reflect how they can arrange their lives in such a way as to leave a small ecological footprint while getting the most enjoyment. The second section of the volume contains a dozen empirical articles on similar topics. They deal with the development of identity and self-worth; with the formation of goals and motivation; with loneliness and family life.
