Miller reflects on key aspects of holistic teaching such as transmission, transaction and transformational approaches. He explores the concept of whole brain thinking and how it can be facilitated, analyzing research on the relationship between the body and mind and mindfulness. Chapters emphasize the importance of interconnections in holistic education, presenting teaching and learning strategies in the context of six connections: thinking, the body and mind, the soul, subjects, community, and the Earth. The book further identifies ways to build community in the classroom and make higher education more sustainable. It concludes by highlighting the value of meditation and mindfulness practices in helping instructors to be more present.

How to Teach Holistically is a vital resource for instructors, practitioners, and policymakers in higher education programmes who are interested in supporting integrative teaching and learning. Detailed and engaging, it will also benefit scholars and students of the sociology of education and educational theory.
