Talks to Teachers on Psychology

Drawn from talks James gave to Cambridge teachers in 1892 and Harvard and Radcliffe students later in the 1890s, this volume bundles two short books: *Talks to Teachers on Psychology* (15 lectures) and *Talks to Students on Some of Life's Ideals* (three essays including "The Gospel of Relaxation" and the famous "On a Certain Blindness in Human Beings"). James practices what he preaches — the prose is unhurried, the observations are concrete, and the central conviction is that education's deepest task is to cultivate good habits in the service of significant ends.
