It is an attempt to give a bird's-eye view of the processes of human nature, from man's simple inborn impulses and needs to the most complete fulfillment of these in the deliberate activities of religion, art, science, and morals. It is hoped that the book may give to the student and general reader, a knowledge of the fundamentals of human nature and a sense of the possibilities and limits these give to human enterprise.

It has always seemed to me a particular duty of the psychologist from time to time to leave his laboratory and with his little contribution to serve the outside interests of the community. Our practical life is filled with psychological problems which have to be solved somehow, and if everything is left to commonsense and to unscientific fancies about the mind, confusion...

(We write the sentences we write because of the sentences we have read.)
How can we talk differently about how we might want to change, knowing that all change precipitates us into...
