Synopsis

Discover how habits, will, and emotion shape lasting learning and clear thinking.

This classic work argues that the mind is an organized system, not a simple collection of separate powers, and that education should cultivate the whole person.

It outlines a practical framework for teachers and parents to guide a child toward steady, thoughtful growth. By balancing intellect with character, it shows how to nurture intelligence, discipline, and a reverent, deeply engaged way of living in a complex world.

• Understand how training the will and forming durable habits supports real learning.
• Explore the role of emotions and environment in sustaining effort and attention.
• Learn why mind and body work together, and how to foster a healthy, energetic mindset.
• Discover guidance on classroom and home practices that honor both knowledge and character.

Ideal for educators, students of psychology and education, and anyone seeking a balanced approach to teaching and learning.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from Developing Mental Power

Every teacher requires a working knowledge of the fundamental nature of the human mind. Without it teaching cannot be made either an interesting or a creative occupation. When psychologically uninformed, the teacher can operate on the mind of youth only in a formal and mechanical way, applying traditional and contemporaneous methods of procedure without much ability to adapt technique to conditions for the purpose of gaining predictable results.

Certainly the teacher who would make his teaching life an interesting and effective adventure with youth will wish to possess whatever scientific insight is necessary to an artful stimulation and control of growing minds. We recognize the field of human psychology as vast. At best its mastery is a patient and difficult matter. The important thing is to make a correct beginning. It will be highly economical of energy and discouragement. The waste of wrong views and partial views can hardly be overestimated. And such waste is largely avoidable if only the first general view of the nature of mind is accurately acquired.
