Waldorf Education, Stolen Focus, and the Crisis of Attention

October 31, 2023 by Kimberton Waldorf School

Dr. Brad Kershner offers reflections on the metacrisis and shares an in-depth summary of the book Stolen Focus by Johann Hari. He makes connections between the themes of this book, the larger constellation of social and cultural problems we are all facing, and the principles and practices of Waldorf education – an approach to learning in community that offers timely and relevant values and practices to address our deepest educational questions and dilemmas.

This lecture was offered to parents at Kimberton Waldorf School – October 11, 2023
