Sinopsis
Excerpt from Nerves and Personal Power: Some Principles of Psychology as Applied to Conduct and Health
There was yet another purpose in this method of treatment of the subject of tuberculosis. Because of his illness, my brother had been deprived of all possibility of active service in the Great War. He knew full well what, as a consequence of war, the toll of tuberculosis was likely to be. Indeed, it was through exposure and illness in South Africa that his own physical constitution was first weakened and thereby rendered a prey to subsequent infec tions. His aim was to help those who, like himself, had known something of active service in the field, and who, through the vicissitudes of war, might be brought into single-handed conflict against disease. He had experienced and understood the 1 contrast, facing death in action with a world ou-looking, and facing it in a long drawn-out battle of inaction, in isolation, and with none of war's recognitions or rewards. In his high purpose he succeeded beyond expectation. He lived to receive from mdre than one military hospital, and from, many an invalided soldier, expressions of profoundest gratitude.

Excerpt from Nerves and Personal Power: Some Principles of Psychology as Applied to Conduct and Health
"Who, doom'd to go in company with Pain,
Turns his necessity to glorious gain;" - Wordsworth - The Happy Warrior.
My brother, Dr. D. Macdougall King, was practicing his profession in the city of Ottawa when, at the age of thirty-five, he was stricken suddenly with influenza complicated by double pneumonia. Tuberculosis of the acute type manifested itself after this attack. It spread rapidly to every lobe of the lungs. So virulent was the disease that its appearance seemed to make thought of recovery all but impossible.
The circumstances surrounding this illness were particularly distressing. Only a year or two before, my brother had assumed the responsibilities of a home and to these had been added, within a few months prior to his breakdown, the parentage of twin sons. Being himself a physician, he was under no delusion as to the significance of the attack. I vividly recall the alternatives as he depicted them to me in the spring of 1913.

This book delves into the complex interplay between our physical selves and the power of our minds, exploring the fascinating connection between nerves and personal growth. Drawing from philosophy, psychology, and the latest scientific advancements in neuroscience, the author sheds light on the profound impact that understanding this connection can have on our overall well-being. The book unravels the mystery of the nervous system, revealing how our bodies respond to external stimuli and internal thoughts. It emphasizes the crucial role of our moral self in controlling the nervous impulses that shape our experiences and behaviors. By cultivating a strong and centered moral self, we can harness the power of our nerves to achieve greater physical, mental, and emotional balance.
