This book makes a strong case for free schooling, comparing the
mind of Albert Einstein -- who said much -- to Zen conscious
practice, which says little but encompasses everything. Examining
the work of brain researchers, neuroscientists, physicists, and
other scholars to illuminate the commonalities between Einstein's
thought and the Zen practice of paying attention to one's present
experience, the book reveals their many similarities, showing the
development of self-direction as a key to fostering compassionate
consideration of others and to harmonious, semi-effortless learning
and living. Examples demonstrate that students who choose to study
what is interesting, remarkable, and important for them tend to
become more like Einstein than students with the rigid school
curricula; students who are free to learn often demonstrate
empathy, and less rigid rule-following, while involved in the
process of imaginatively becoming their own oracles and
self-educators.
