Given all this, you might think training in attention would be critical to any schooling. Indeed, William James, back in 1890, said such a training would be “an education par excellence,” although he confessed to being stumped as to what it might involve. Now, of course, we know—mindfulness practice nurtures attention, bringing with it a precious treasure of other well-being benefits.
