About This Book

The author presents practical methods for increasing individual effectiveness by mastering mental processes, arguing that personal and business achievement depend on deliberate control of attention, will, and habit. The text surveys introspective observations, experimental and physiological evidence, and contemporary psychological theory to explain conscious and subconscious mechanisms, cellular and neural contributors to behavior, and the relation of mind to bodily activity. It offers concrete training routines, laws of success, and applications to business practice while challenging narrow reliance on physical fitness or vocational specialization, aiming to convert psychological principles into daily habits for greater efficiency and accomplishment.
