After the success of his award-winning books Sharing Nature and Deep Nature Play, Flow Learning completes his earlier works with an in-depth teaching system that awakens us to our higher potential by experiencing the joy of being in nature.

"Flow Learning is more than a book! It is a guide to build a bridge between the inner and the outer and between people and the planet Earth. Joseph Bharat Cornell’s words are eloquent, inspirational, and practical. While reading this book I realized that Nature is a great teacher. We can learn wisdom and gratitude from rivers, mountains, and forests. Flow Learning is a timely book. In the context of Covid pandemic and Climate crisis Cornell is challenging us to cultivate deeper understanding of and closer connectivity with Nature in order to address the urgent issues of our time. Flow Learning makes it clear that to be truly educated we need to wholeheartedly embrace Nature consciousness in our lives. I highly recommend this book to all educators and students of life."
—Satish Kumar, Founder of Schumacher College in the U.K.
"Flow Learning transfers beautifully to other disciplines and learning environments…. Joseph focuses on being present: with nature, with learners, with ourselves; infusing joy and energy via play, humor, and emotional connection in order to heighten awareness, deepen learning, and create lasting impact."
—Janet Carrier Ady, PhD North American Association for Environmental Education Advisory Council
“Flow Learning is like a portal; lifting and transporting us to the heart of nature. The book’s simplicity and flow makes it feel as though it is personally written by mother nature herself.” —Sonthaya Chutisacha, Co-Director, Knowledge Source Institute, Thailand
"Flow Learning would move mountains if it reached every teacher in the world." —Nina Hojnik, co-founder of Green Trail society, Slovenia
"Flow Learning revolutionized my teaching! The Flow Learning format provides the perfect balance of structure and flexibility that supports creative and meaningful lessons for all ages. I’ve used it in my elementary and middle school classrooms and also in curriculum design for college graduate courses. Likewise, this latest book by Joseph Cornell is applicable to a wide audience—those who are new to Cornell’s work, as well as those who have enjoyed his previous books. Flow Learning is a must-have book for all educators who want to bring new energy into their teaching." —Carol Malnor, educator, children’s book author, publisher
"Innumerable rivers flow on Earth, absorbing a myriad of nutrients and bearing them to the sea. Inspired by this universal principle of nature, Cornell compares learning to the flow of a river. This is a fresh perspective on “learning” that can be an outpouring of joy and enthusiasm that creates a great flow of energy, thereby transforming the learners." —Mitsuhisa Hioki, Board Chair, Sharing Nature Association of Japan, Professor, Graduate School of Education, The University of Tokyo
