What it is about
Talks to Teachers (1899): psychology for people who have to teach.
Context and history
James had spent years saying that psychology gives no recipes for teaching, and here he sets out what it can offer: how attention, habit and interest work. The second part, addressed to students, contains 'On a Certain Blindness in Human Beings', which he thought the best thing he ever wrote.
Editorial context, not a citable source: unlike the passages of the work itself, these statements cannot be checked against the corpus.
