"It is argued that the leading truths of psychology can be given in an intelligible way to pupils under the age of 20. The author has aimed in this volume to present as much of the science as the general student will need. Special effort has been made to enliven the hard and dry facts of the science by employing illustrations and anecdotes to elucidate them. 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 importance to all who have not passed the plastic age. Psychology, in order to be most effective for self-improvement, should be studied while the brain is still plastic, and hence earlier than is sometimes customary. By the age of 30, a ton of effort will be required to effect a change which a pound could have secured earlier. It has been the constant purpose of the author in this work to make the study practically useful to the student. This volume aims to present the latest ascertained facts of physiological, as well as of introspective, psychology. The student ought not to neglect the brief essentials of physiological psychology, for they will help him on the introspective side"--Preface.
