From Power Brain Kids by Ilchi Lee
For this reason, we must help our children develop brains prepared for this expanded role. Through proper education, the world becomes a treasure trove of possibility for our children, rather than a dreaded Pandora’s box of contradictory ideas and misinformation. In the past, educational systems have focused on the storage of facts appropriate to the culture in which they exist. That approach is no longer adequate in today’s complex world. Children must develop skills to make their minds flexible and highly adaptive.
The primary goal of Brain Education is to create “power brains” that are creative, peaceful, and productive. Its intention is not only to make better students but also to create happier, healthier people. While education traditionally emphasizes analytical and verbal skills (consider, for example, the content of the SAT), Brain Education develops interpersonal and intrapersonal skills, as well.
