Personality and Life

This volume presents in non-technical language the essential principles of sound personality development. There are, of course, many things about this intriguing question that are not known to either psychologists or laymen. Nevertheless, there are a number of important mental principles available that have been denied the average citizen and the young people for the simple reason that these principles have been presented either in such technical terms as to be unintelligible or in such popular phraseology as to be superficial.

So, this book is not addressed to scholars. It is written directly for intelligent persons who are interested in personality as it affects the everyday conduct of life. It is addressed to the younger college students who are eager to understand their own natures as well as how to avoid the pitfalls of psychological disorders.

We offer it to these individuals as a practical guide to constructive, socialized personality building. It is not merely a book on how to be popular. It is a volume devoted to those basic principles of living which, if followed, bring legitimate popularity and other forms of personality adjustment as a matter of course.

The book has served as a textbook for non-technical psychology courses as given in four-year liberal arts colleges for many years.
