America's greatest psychologist walked into classrooms and explained the mind in plain English. James's talks cover the stream of consciousness, the child as a behaving organism, habit, and attention, then turn to students with essays on life's ideals, including his famous plea against blindness to other lives. Psychology made humane and useful. Teaching, and living, informed by the master.
