His book is not just a good read, it is fruitful, as well."—Philip Winne, Professor, Faculty of Education, Simon Fraser University, Canada"Greene, a leading scholar on self-regulation with a long history of professional success, a proliferate writer, and an extraordinary and charismatic educator, mesmerizes [and] places his readers in a situation in which they are called to actions. . . .
