About the Book

This book provides a yogic framework for college educators to take inventory of areas of imbalance in their professional life and work toward more sustainable and meaningful career alignment. Drawing from chakra theory at the heart of yoga philosophy, DiPietro takes readers through the seven major chakras, explaining their functions and common patterns of imbalance—with particular attention to patterns reinforced by academia—and offers 130+ tools and strategies for realignment. Readers will learn how to ground themselves in nurturing habits, set and stand by professional boundaries, speak their truth even in charged situations, and build a legacy they can be proud of. Written to be a helpful, trusted guidebook, this text features prompts for reflection, call-out boxes for each chakra, and downloadable worksheets to synthesize thoughts and ideas into an action plan.

Review :
"The Faculty Guide to a Balanced and Harmonious Career weaves together faculty narratives about joy, difficulty, perspective, and community with mindfulness lessons from yoga philosophy and practice. Facilitating alignment of the body, mind, and spirit, this book offers anchors for transformative discussions in faculty learning communities about burnout and renewal." Katie Kearns, Professional Development Hub (pd|hub), University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School, USA "The Faculty Guide to a Balanced and Harmonious Career is the book you didn’t know you needed. In the noisy world of work-life balance research, Dr. DiPietro provides a challenging and refreshing perspective on how to attain and sustain a balanced and harmonious career. He deftly balances conventional evidence-based principles with the chakra system, inviting readers to consider the relationship between the body and the mind and, more importantly – and systematically – how a system of seven energy centers provides a pathway to professional fulfillment. This Guide is firmly rooted in the reality of faculty life and the myriad of identities, goals, and tensions associated with it. Dr. DiPietro weaves an elegant tapestry of experiences –their own and others’ – to demonstrate the vulnerability and power of agency. Critical practices like engaging in creative recovery, cultivating trustworthiness, stating one’s path, amplifying other voices, and challenging injustices are brought to life differently, here. This is not a “how to” book, but a “how to become” companion. It is that rare treatise that invites, encourages, and empowers faculty and faculty developers to know themselves and thrive in the ever-changing landscape of higher education." Brian Smentkowski, Vice President and Chief Academic Officer, University of Alaska, USA "The Faculty Guide to a Balanced and Harmonious Career brings a much-needed formula for wholeness to the world of academia. With DiPietro’s keen eye and open heart, engrossing stories are carefully combined with erudite scholarship on the chakra system, to highlight the inner world of those who work in academia and provide the backbone of learning for our society. The insights in these pages will unite a world that is fueled by passion but plagued with discontent. Not only does the book highlight the areas of difficulties that are so common in university life, it gives you concrete tools to survive and transcend those problems, opening the way to changing them for the better. I hope everyone in and out of academia takes time to read this important work." Anodea Judith, Author of Eastern Body-Western Mind, Wheels of Life, Chakra Yoga
