Applied Psychology 159 ALPHABETICAL LIST OF REFERENCES 168 Glossary 169 AUTHOR'S PREFACE This book is written for young students in high schools and normal schools. No knowledge can be of more use to a young person than a knowledge of himself; no study can be more valuable to him than a study of himself. A study of the laws of human behavior,-that is the purpose of this book. What is human nature like? Why do we act as we do? How can we make ourselves different? How can we make others different? How can we make ourselves more efficient? How can we make our lives more worth while? This book is a manual intended to help young people to obtain such knowledge of human nature as will enable them to answer these questions. I have not attempted to write a complete text on psychology. There are already many such books, and good ones too. I have selected for treatment only such topics as young students can study with interest and profit. I have tried to keep in mind all the time the practical worth of the matters discussed, and the ability and experience of the intended readers. TO THE TEACHER This book can be only a guide to you. You are to help your students study human nature. You must, to some extent, be a psychologist yourself before you can teach psychology. You must yourself be a close and scientific student of human nature. Develop in the students the spirit of inquiry and investigation. Teach them to look to their own minds and their neighbor's actions for verification of the statements of the text. Let the students solve by observation and experiment the questions and problems raised in the text and the exercises. The exercises should prove to be the most valuable part of the book. The first two chapters are the most difficult but ought to be read before the rest of the book is studied. If you think best, merely read these two chapters with the pupils, and after the book is finished come back to them for careful study. In the references, I have given parallel readings, for the most part to Titchener, Pillsbury, and M�nsterberg. I have purposely limited the references, partly because a library will not be available to many who may use the book, and partly because the young student is likely to be confused by much reading from different sources before he has worked out some sort of system and a point of view of his own. Only the most capable members of a high school class will be able to profit much from the references given. TO THE STUDENT You are beginning the study of human nature. You can not study human nature from a book, you must study yourself and your neighbors. This book may help you to know what to look for and to understand what you find, but it can do little more than this. It is true, this text gives you many facts learned by psychologists, but you must verify the statements, or at least see their significance to you, or they will be of no worth to you. However, the facts considered here, properly understood and assimilated, ought to prove of great value to you. But perhaps of greater value will be the psychological frame of mind or attitude which you should acquire. The psychological attitude is that of seeking to find and understand the causes of human action, and the causes, consequences, and significance of the processes of the human mind. If your first course in psychology teaches you to look for these things, gives you some skill in finding them and in using the knowledge after you have it, your study should be quite worth while. W. H. PYLE.

Download or read book A Treatise of Human Nature written by David Hume and published by . This book was released on 1789 with total page 709 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Hume argues that the science of man--the study of human nature--is the only solid foundation for the other sciences. The sciences of mathematics, natural philosophy, and natural religion are dependent on the knowledge of man, and this dependence seen even more clearly in the other sciences (logic, morals, criticism, and politics) whose connection with human nature is more close and intimate. The only expedient from which we can hope for success in our philosophical researches is to march up directly to human nature itself; which once being masters of, we may every where else hope for an easy victory. In pretending therefore to explain the principles of human nature, we in effect propose a complete system of the sciences, built on a foundation almost entirely new, and the only one upon which they can stand with any security. The only solid foundation we can give to this science itself must be laid on experience and observation. We must glean up our experiments in this science from a cautious observation of human life, and take them as they appear in the common course of the world, by men's behavior in company, in affairs, and in their pleasures. Where experiments of this kind are judiciously collected and compared, we may hope to establish on them a science, which will not be inferior in certainty, and will be much superior in utility to any other of human comprehension"--Introduction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Human Nature Explained: A New Illustrated Treatise on Human Science for the People We can never deal effectually and properly with any of the great problems, such as capital and labor, social ethics, equal rights, education, religious liberty, or the unfortunate manifestations of human life, such as vice, intemperance, pauperism, insanity and crime until the masses of the people have a more thoroughand general knowledge of the impusles in human life from which all these conditions spring. In the evolution of society, social ethics are ever changing, public sentiment shifts its bearings, forms of government, political parties, reli gions beliefs, creeds and dogmas, spring into existance, rise to proportions of supremacy and power, serve their purpose, outlive their usefulness and then give way to let others succeed, but each and all are simply the out ward expressions of impulses inherent in human nature, to be found in every individual principles that are eternal with the gods.

Book excerpt: From the #1 New York Times-bestselling author of The 48 Laws of Power comes the definitive new book on decoding the behavior of the people around you Robert Greene is a master guide for millions of readers, distilling ancient wisdom and philosophy into essential texts for seekers of power, understanding and mastery. Now he turns to the most important subject of all - understanding people's drives and motivations, even when they are unconscious of them themselves. We are social animals. Our very lives depend on our relationships with people. Knowing why people do what they do is the most important tool we can possess, without which our other talents can only take us so far. Drawing from the ideas and examples of Pericles, Queen Elizabeth I, Martin Luther King Jr, and many others, Greene teaches us how to detach ourselves from our own emotions and master self-control, how to develop the empathy that leads to insight, how to look behind people's masks, and how to resist conformity to develop your singular sense of purpose. Whether at work, in relationships, or in shaping the world around you, The Laws of Human Nature offers brilliant tactics for success, self-improvement, and self-defense.
