Reviews"A true tribute to those who teach, Ruhl's Lessons from My Teachers masterfully captures the ineffable essence of all that passes between teacher and student, offering a beautiful depiction of the transformation possible within the teacher-student relationship." --Sharon Salzberg, author of Lovingkindness and Real Life, "Pristine, perfect. These Short essays contain multitudes of truthful lessons for anyone who is wondering about Life--and how to move through it. A really lovely book." -- Elizabeth Strout , Pulitzer Prize winning author of Olive Kitteridge and Tell Me Everything, " Lessons From My Teachers is a timely and lively reminder of what we owe teachers... [Ruhl] celebrates teaching in the broadest sense--those subtle moments of shared truth that can occur anywhere." --Danny Heitman, Christian Science Monitor, " Lessons from My Teachers is a tender, thoughtful, humorous slice of the wisdom gained from years of teaching and being taught." -- Shelf Awareness, "Ruhl tracks the way life continually presents to us opportunities to become more impassioned scholars of the human comedy... The moral is to say hello to the familiar stranger, to write that note of gratitude and to appreciate that teaching and learning are a lot closer to love than we've been led to believe." -- Los Angeles Times

SynopsisAn inspiring collection of "pristine, perfect" (Elizabeth Strout) essays on the life-altering bonds between teacher and student and the timeless wisdom imparted both inside and outside the classroom--from critically acclaimed author, MacArthur genius, two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist, and Tony Award-nominated playwright and author, Sarah Ruhl. Based on her popular class at Yale, this "tender and profound" ( Booklist ) essay collection from one of our greatest living playwrights and teachers, Sarah Ruhl, is a testament to the singular impact of teachers across every stage of our lives. Anchored in stories both personal and universal, drawing on Sarah's experiences with her parents and children, with schoolteachers, creative influences, and beyond, Lessons from My Teachers is a "a true tribute to those who teach... [that] masterfully captures the ineffable essence of all that passes between teacher and student" (Sharon Salzberg). Perfect for sharing with loved ones and role models alike and meant for marking important seasons and milestones, Lessons from My Teachers is a collection "told by a master storyteller...Anyone who learns and teaches will find affirmation in this book."
