Education for Life
Preparing Children to Meet the Challenges
By J. Donald Walters

J. Donald Walters
Author of Education for Life, J. Donald Walters has a single life-long purpose of inspiring people to higher and better ways of living. His more than 100 books offer wise and practical guidance in every aspect of life: education, leadership, marriage, the arts, human relationships, meditation & yoga, and the relationship of the individual to the higher self, God. The 400 musical pieces he has composed offer a way to approach life that is uplifting, inspiring and spiritually beneficial-a welcome alternative to the ego-centeredness of "popular culture."

In 1948, at the age of 22, he became a disciple of the great master of yoga, Paramhansa Yogananda, author of Autobiography of a Yogi. Six months after living with him, Yogananda put Mr. Walters in charge of the monks in his organization. In 1968, sixteen years after Yogananda's death, Mr. Walters founded Ananda Village, a thriving spiritual community dedicated to "plain living and high thinking." Today, there are six Ananda communities located in the U.S. and Europe, and countless thousands of individuals worldwide who have benefited from his work. He currently lives in the Ananda India community in Delhi, where he devotes his life to writing, teaching, and inspiring others towards a life of higher consciousness.
