Talks To Teachers On Psychology; And To Students On Some Of Life's Ideals is a classic pedagogy studies text by William James In the general activity and uprising of ideal interests which every one with an eye for fact can discern all about us in American life, there is perhaps no more promising feature than the fermentation which for a dozen years or more has been going on among the teachers.

William James was an American philosopher and psychologist. James is considered to be one of the founders of functional psychology and he also developed the theory of radical empiricism.

Drawing on psychology, philosophy, and literature, William James's classic survey of religious belief gathers testimony from a huge range of diverse sources to construct a defence of the individual religious experience. It speaks powerfully to the modern debate on atheism and faith, in the most critically up-to-date edition available.

Standing at the crossroads of psychology and religion, this work applies the scientific method to a field abounding in abstract theory. It believes that individual religious experiences, rather than the precepts of organized religions, are the backbone of the world's religious life.

”For at gå over til de religiøse fænomener, tag så tungsindet, der, som vi vil få at se, danner en væsentlig bestanddel i al religiøs udvikling. Eller tag den lykkefølelse, som den fuldbragte tro meddeler. Eller de henrykkelsestilstande med indblik i sandheden, som alle mystikere fortæller om. Dette er alt sammen særlige tilfælde af en slags menneskelig erfaring med en ejendommelig vid synskreds.”Psykolog og filosof William James undersøger religiøse oplevelser ud fra et psykologisk perspektiv. Bogen ser blandt andet på religion og nervelivet, religionens rolle i nogle sygelige tilstande, mystikernes religiøse oplevelser og religiøs omvendelse. ”Religiøse erfaringer” er et hovedværk inden for både psykologi, filosofi og religionsvidenskab. Bogen består af en række forelæsninger, der oprindeligt blev afholdt i 1901-1902. Den er oversat til en lang række sprog og udkommet over store dele af verden.William James (1842-1910) var en amerikansk psykolog og filosof. I over 30 år var han professor ved Harvard University i psykologi og filosofi, og han udgav en lang række bøger om blandt andet religion, psykologi og filosofi. Hans teori om bevidsthed som en kontinuerlig strøm er blevet til begrebet stream of consciousness, som vandt frem som litterær genre i starten af det 20. århundrede. William James var storebror til forfatteren Henry James.

The ancient practice of fasting, which is highly regarded in all cultures and civilizations, has proven to be a potent means of improving one's physical and mental health over time.
