Reactions to Lessons Learned: An Open Letter...
I am extremely well pleased by the reception that my new Sagamore Publishing book has received.
The title of the book, is Lessons Learned: An Open Letter to Recreational Therapy Students and Practitioners. In the book I share concepts, ideas, and tips that I have gained over the course of nearly 50 years in our profession of RT.
I hope the book will be read by practitioners and that faculty will adopt it for use in their courses. It has the advantage of a relatively modest price -- I believe the cost is $20 for a print copy and around $15 for the ebook version.
In Lessons Learned I've attempted to write conversationally making the book very reader friendly. It's format uses many short lessons (i.e., chapters). Most are 2 or 3 pages in length, with a few being 1 page and a few 5 pages.
Most who have read it seem to like the book's content and format. Here are some quotes from practitioners and faculty:
From recreation therapist and webmaster of the TR/RT Directory Charlie Dixon: “This is an excellent read – every recreation therapist, either starting out or a veteran, should read this wonderful book.”
From Professor Kari Kensinger: “Great book, Dave.”
From recreation therapist Sally Brindle: “It is great! Especially for a new person in the field or one thinking of going in. It is telling me that I chose the field of RT for the right reasons.”
From Professor Youngkhill Lee: “I enjoy your new book a lot. Students like to read as each lesson was short but easy to read. Plus, they like it as you took a conversational style in your writing. We sometimes use 4-5 lessons at one time; at other time, we use 1-2 lessons. Last week, we talked about definitions of TR and the lessons 1-6 contain a lot of good stuff to talk. We'll be talking about practice models tomorrow. Again, your lessons include your thoughts and reflections on this matter and I am expecting lively discussions tomorrow. Again, thank you for writing this book for us.”
From practitioner Pam Higginbotham: " Awesome book!!!Thank you soo much again! Having learned the lessons now, so later on the mistakes are not repeated! :)"
From Professor Jeff Witman: “I like the book Dave, important content presented in a thoughtful and engaging format. I've used several chapters as readings with my RT seminar students and plan to adopt it for my programming/leadership class next year. Appreciate all that you do for the field, Jeff”
Please do pass along any reactions to Lessons Learned to me. I enjoy reading them and sharing them with others who may purchase or adopt the book as a result of what you have to say.
Oh, and copies of Lessons Learned may be purchased directly from Sagamore Publishing's website. I believe Amazon.com also offers the ebook version of the book.
