| Summary |
"For whom is this book written? Here is my answer: First, for all who wish to make a scientific study of human nature, and especially for those who wish to become professional character analysts. Second, for teachers who, like myself, feel that they must know their students. Modern psychology has furnished valuable intelligence tests. Dr. Windsor's book turns the X-ray on all of the mind's activities-even more than that-on the whole man. Third, for the enlightenment of physicians and nurses. The medical world is fast learning that the patient must be studied above his eyes. The more the physician knows about the mind of his patient the better service he can render. Fourth, for clergymen who are teachers in a special field. Not infrequently the preacher's efficiency is in proportion to his knowledge of human nature. Henry Ward Beecher and Joseph Cook placed a high value on a practical knowledge of phrenology. Fifth, for lawyers. The most successful criminal lawyers testify to the necessity of knowing human nature. Dr. Windsor, educated for the law, has in his book made this point clear. Sixth, for the industrial world. Business organizers, business managers, salesmen, advertisers, etc., will find in this book the key to success. Seventh, for the general public. Dr. Windsor's simple style makes this book more attractive than a novel. The wealth of illustrations brings every page within the comprehension of the ordinary reader. Husbands and wives, fathers and mothers, should read and study this book. Knowing one another means harmony, co-operation, loyalty and love. Every reader, eager to obey the ancient injunction. "Know Thyself," will find in this book, the inspiration I found fifty years ago in Fowler's little book, "Memory""--Introduction. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved) |
