The Future of Education with Guy Claxton

“In Finland, schools are teaching children how to
understand and respond to fake news and misinformation is an
important skill in life!”


Do you struggle with concentration or learning new things? Do you
find it easy focusing on hobbies and things you enjoy but can’t
remember a single maths equation -or something you know you need
to learn- but for some reason have a mental block doing so?


This week, we speak with Guy Claxton, an emeritus professor of
the learning sciences at the University of Winchester and author.
His main publications include Hare Brain, Tortoise Mind: Why
Intelligence Increases When You Think Less.


Guy is a professional meditator, and deep thinker, having spent
months in the presence of gurus, such as Osho. Guy has a very
different approach to the education system. He focuses less on
the syllabus and more on the environment and approach. We hope
you find his perspective as refreshing as we did.


Lots of Love,


Dave & Steve
