From my many years’ experience of working at second level, September always brings about anxiety around study skills from parents, teachers and students themselves. Some students have this mindset, “I’m no good at maths, I’m no good at languages,” etc, they then begin to dread those classes in school. It has everything to do with how we talk to ourselves, changing our mindset, realising that everything can be achieved with effort will help you to achieve your goals and increase motivation.

The pragmatic thinker, William James (1842–1910) is easily one of the most lucid of philosophers, with a charming and attractive writing style. It is no coincidence his brother, Henry James, is one of the finest novelists of the 20th century. William's most famous book, The Varieties of Religious Experience, is one of the great classic accounts of the subject.

One of the first modern psychologists, James, unlike the Freudians, recognised the importance of the religious dimension in human life.
