Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Psychology and Psychic Culture For several years the author has taught psychology under conditions which necessitated its presentation in as plain and as interesting a manner as possible. He has endeavored to impose the same conditions upon himself in writing this book. Psychological text-books have too often been a bundle of abstractions. It seems as if the human mind ought to have qualities that would interest the average person, whether young or old. After consider able experience, the author can testify that the leading truths of psychology can be given in an intelligible way to pupils under the age of twenty. He has aimed in this volume to present as much of the science as the general student will need. Especial effort has been made to enliven the hard and dry facts of the science by employing illustrations and anecdotes to elucidate them. No one knows better than the psychologist that it is of little use to present the best of subjects in an unattractive way, because facts devoid of interesting features will not secure the attention. The chapters on the application of psychological laws in the cultivation of the mental powers are a characteristic feature of this work. Laws are of little use unless they are applied; hence these chapters are of the utmost impor tance to all who have not passed the plastic age. Psychol ogy, in order to be most effective for self-improvement. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
