The author's discussions on the relative roles of heredity and environment in developing capacities and defects, and examination of the four conditions reected in sanity, insanity, health, and disease, are especially thought-provoking and provide a solid foundation for understanding the complexities of the mind. Given the intimate relationship between mind and body, the author posits that the soundness of the body is the very foundation for a sound mind. Preparedness to move, then to act, are the fundamentals of a healthy mind and body, and understanding how our organisms are prepared to discharge energy in action provides the cornerstone for grasping the principles of mental hygiene.
