The Neuroscience of Learning and Development: Enhancing Creativity, Compassion, Critical Thinking, And Peace in Higher Education

This book harnesses what we have learned from innovations in teaching, neurosciences, experiential learning, and studies on mindfulness and personal development, to transform how we deliver and create new knowledge, and indeed transform our students, developing their capacities for adaptive boundary spanning. The book presents the science that informs key learning and development constructs plausibly missing from today's educational systems. In addition, the book offers practical ideas for implementation, showing how simple refinements in classroom and co-curricular experiences can create foundations for students to develop key skills that will enhance adaptive problem solving, creativity; overall well-being, and ultimately, world peace.
