Talks To Teachers On Psychology; And To Students On Some Of Life's Ideals
Talks to Teachers on Psychology, published in 1899, grew out of lectures William James gave to Cambridge schoolteachers in the 1890s. He sets out, without jargon, what the new psychology can and cannot offer the classroom: how habits form, why attention wanders, how interest and association work, what memory depends on, and why the will matters more than any method. His advice is practical and skeptical of fads. The three talks to students that close the book, The Gospel of Relaxation, On a Certain Blindness in Human Beings and What Makes a Life Significant, are among James's best-known essays, arguing that we constantly fail to see the inner value of lives unlike our own.
