This volume is designed to show how, by a training and use of the mind, it is possible for everyone to secure at least a large measure of mental health and physical well-being. Mr. Kirkham’s work distances its competitors in the field by combining certain qualities which are the condition of excellence and practical serviceableness in the chosen sphere of this book; it is firmly founded upon a rock of philosophy; the author’s sanity and common-sense banish all extreme and fantastic claims that fly in the face of reason and experience; the thought is reduced to the simplest form, and is free from technical terms; the ideas are easily grasped and put into practice; and there is an extraordinary lucidity, directness, and vigor in style, structure, and manner of presentation.
