Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Psychology in Daily Life The desire to apply this knowledge reflects the stress of the practical temper; the need of adapta tion of the mental equipment to the complex con ditions of modern life is insistent. Mental econ omy enforces the importance of shaping career to capacity; the conservation of mental resources en ters vitally into the problems of national welfare. The varied liability of the mind to defect and decay, to distortion and vagary, to degeneration and re version, sets in relief the critical importance of san ity, which is a eugenic endowment exercised in a wholesome environment. From these several sources there has resulted a sense of psychological value by which to gauge the worth of the educa tional and cultural provisions which society organ izes for the maintenance of its cherished ends. Furthermore, the ready intercourse of mankind has conferred a cosmopolitan and an humanitarian out look, mingling and comparing, while yet contrast ing, national and local standards and ideals. The products of intellectual, as of other achievements, are seen to belong not to one race or to one era or to one order of culture. The beginnings of mind in the animal world, the growth of mind in child hood and in the race, contribute notably to broaden the conception of its mature capacity and its po tential future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Daily Life Psychology From dependable medical history. I have the following. A young man had a hemorrhage from his lungs occurring on his birthday. This came again on his next birthday and on each succeeding anniversary until this had happened ten times. He died from the effects on the tenth occasion. The practice of our psychological methods is based upon what we denominate, post passive suggestions. Meaning that the suggestion is not to be fulfilled during passivity but at some future time. In the analysis of the above phenomenon we disclose the law of suggestion (the introduction of a picture into the soul) and soul expectancy. There may have been organic cause justifying the first bleed ing of the lungs which became associated in the man's subconscious with his birthday. The sub conscious is not like the conscious which forgets the former retains the pictures as they are related to each other and will produce the fulfillments in the corresponding relationship. The association of ideas was sufficient suggestion to cause the soul, the subconscious, to repeat the experience and yet there was no picture to call for the discharge of blood from the lungs on any other date and the phenomenon appeared only on the date called for in the images in the soul of the young man.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Psychology Everyday Life Such being the nature and scope of psychology, the ques tion that next presents itself is: what is the use of psychology? What possible service can it render us to study psychology The answer is not difficult. Our entire waking life is devoted to activities which realize certain aims, to the forming of resolutions or the carrying out of purposes. At least half probably far more than half with most people - of our aims, resolutions, and purposes involve in a greater or less degree reference also to the activities of other people, involve co-operating with other people or opposing them, protecting them or protecting ourselves against them, advising or educating, checking or punishing them. Our whole active life, therefore, may be said to be devoted to the controlling and modifying of our behaviour by ourselves or others, or the controlling and modifying of the behaviour of other people by us, and we study behaviour in order through the better understanding of it to be able better to modify and control it.

Download or read book The Principles of Psychology Vol 1 of 2 Classic Reprint written by William James and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-12 with total page 706 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William James' The Principles of Psychology, Volume One is an epic work in the field of psychology and one of the most well known books of the discipline. James was a philosopher and psychologist who spent most of his adult life employed by Harvard University, where he developed and taught some of the most influential psychological theories of the time. The book opens with an analysis of the functions of the brain and a discussion of the scope of psychology. From there, James' focus is primarily on the localization of functions within the brain, or how specific parts of the brain act as neural centres for the human body's senses. James relies on a comparative method in which humans are compared to other animals, and the importance of instincts in shaping the actions of man are discussed in detail. The primary value in reading the work of William James is to absorb the author's ability to contextualize psychology. Much of what is known about psychology today is a direct result of the foundation laid by James. If one wants truly to understand the present, it is important to understand the past. The Principles of Psychology, Volume One is rightly considered a masterpiece. For the experienced student of psychology, this book is an absolute must-read. It is a work that begs to be meditated upon and will surely ruminate in your consciousness long after you turn the last page. A true classic.

Download or read book Problems of Life and Mind Classic Reprint written by George Henry Lewes and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-18 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Problems of Life and Mind The present volume represents all the remaining manuscript for Problems of Life and Mind so far as it was left by the Author in a state that he would have allowed to be fit for publication. Much of it was intended to be rewritten, and the whole, if it had undergone his revision, would have received that alternate condensation and expansion sure to be needed in a work which has been of many years' growth, and which treats of a continually growing subject. Some repetitions would have been avoided, many arguments would have been better nourished with illustration, and in the Third Problem there would doubtless have been a more evident order in the succession of chapters, the actual arrangement being partly the result of conjecture. The Fourth Problem, of which the later pages were written hardly more than three weeks before the Author's death, is but a fragment it will perhaps not be felt the less worthy of attention by those readers who have followed his previous works with interest and sympathy. In correcting the proof-sheets of this volume the Editor has been generously aided by Dr. Michael F oster and Mr. James Sully.

Download or read book The Mind at Work written by Geoffrey Rhodes and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-27 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mind at Work: A Handbook of Applied Psychology The study of the mind cannot properly be separated from the study of the body, for the two are most intimately related. We all know that when tired and hungry the brain refuses to work. We cannot think clearly. A glass of wine and a biscuit and a short rest restores to us our mental faculties. Or to put the case the other way, good news stimulates appetite, while shock or anxiety gives a distaste for food. These are simple and obvious illustrations; but there are much more remarkable ones that we shall have to discuss later on. The greater part of our mental life is necessarily made up of impressions of the outside world that reach us by means of our senses. The eyes and ears and other receptive organs are constantly telegraphing messages to the brain along the nerve fibres. It is one of the chief functions of the mind to interpret these messages, and they eventually, in some mysterious fashion, pass into the region of our consciousness. These primary sensations of a physical origin supply the science of psychology with a convenient starting-point for its investigation, and the study of sensation forms a link between the science of the body and the science of the mind.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Principles of Psychology While, however, I am conscious that the work contains many more imperfections than it would have done had its scope been more limited and its elaboration longer, I would excuse the issue of it in its present form on several grounds: partly on the ground that it is almost useless to wait until any organized body of thought has reached its full development, which it never does in the course of a single life; partly on the ground that it is next to impossible for the writer of a work like this, to dispense with the aid of candid criticism; but chiefly on the ground that the general truths enunciated, being, as I believe, both new and important, it seemed to me undesirable to delay their publication with the View of by and by presenting them in a more finished guise.

Download or read book The Psychology of Health and Happiness Classic Reprint written by La Forest Potter and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-21 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Psychology of Health and Happiness The law of life is progress, never retrogression. The so-called degeneration (the doom of the non-selected) is really a process of growth. That which seems to our human experience infinity is but a momentary incident in the vast related whole Of life. In the great law of selection of the fittest, it is conceivable that the degen crate is potentially more fit than his surviving neighbor, and in the ascent of life that he may outstrip him. Every force, every form of energy works through law. No advance is possible but through conformity to it. The principles of psychology underlie all human growth. The natural world in growth responds to its highest possibilities unswervingly, eternally. The human growth follows the same process. The highest achievement of man, indubitably, is thought power; and this energy is, of all forms, most powerful because it is the culmination. Conformation to this law means for man not only mould ing but making power; not adjustment merely, but crea tive possibility. Aberration from this law is unbalance (disease). Disease, from this standpoint, therefore, has broad scope. It is contemporaneous with life's begin nings. A rational interpretation of those forces which make for this unbalance should lead far toward adjust ment.
