Educating the Emotions: A Middle Aged Guy talks about Engaging Passion

- Aspen Ideas Festival, 2010.
The main reason the education system doesn't work these days is not that we're bad at math and English instruction. It is that students lack the soft skills-how to use teachers as a tool for learning-and schools treat kids as blank slates to be filled with information instead of as emotionally needy creatures looking to organize their passions. This talk features New York Times Columnist, David Brooks.

the applause at the end had me in tears, as I too appreciated hearing this speech
Such a positive, emotionally intelligent voice for our dysfunctional modern society! Thank you Mr Brooks!
Terrific talk! But I don't get how you know more about psychology than most psychologists and psychiatrists do and certainly more than most did when you gave that talk 13 years ago!
Mr Mr. Brooks has been on quite a journey. I read one of his first books that detailed his divorce previous love of his life. He has paid attention and has worked very hard to establish important contacts with sources of love and thriving in life. Nice job.
I watch David Brooks regularly talking politics. Then I saw a PBS brief on his new book and looked back at all the talks he's given like this. He's completely different than I thought. Much more real than another pundit
Pure gold.
Always game changing of David Brooks!
For placing the light on our huge problem. Hit at the core!
..great talk for women to hear...
It would be awesome if people could ask questions without prefacing the questions with their own speeches.
Thank you for this extensive research
Sasha, best intro ever. I wish all videos on youtube would do that. Short and sweet.
Wow, this is enough brain food to last me a good long while. Concentrated, like superfood!
What a great story😊
Thanks for sharing
Inspiring as ever. Much food for thought.
Brooks says people named Dennis have a disproportionately larger chance of becoming dentists. Baloney. My fathers middle name was Dennis, my middle name is Dennis and his mothers maiden name was Dennis. It never occurred to any of us to be dentists. We're all writers, yet none of us is named Wright. I've known many Lawrences and. none were lawyers or ever wanted to be lawyers. That's a silly and very flawed theory.
Maybe a truer test would have been if your first names had been Dennis, most people don't go by their second name but by their first.
This was not baloney for my dad! His first name was Dennis and he told me he had wanted to be a dentist when he was young, but couldn’t because he had to keep working in his father’s store in the 1940s! He was not allowed to follow his dream, as we do these days. 😢
I've known all that since my grandson was born 26 years ago

Oh gosh, I love David brooks but he just gave to much credit to the lesson of the kids who did our did not hold off eating the marshmallow. It's NOT that simple!
The first, to move on to social
Interesting of the English
It is quiet astonishing to realise that your "conscience decisions" were already long time motivated and decided by your unconscience, and you have been "hook-winked" all this time into thinking you controled your thoughts..
Some opinionated comments with bitter inner pain jokes, but I can feel his depression.
My apologies to Brooks who admire, before he was stardom.
