Sinopsis
Excerpt from Developing Mental Power
Every teacher requires a working knowledge of the fundamental nature of the human mind. Without it teaching cannot be made either an interesting or a creative occupation. When psychologically uninformed, the teacher can operate on the mind of youth only in a formal and mechanical way, applying traditional and contemporaneous methods of procedure without much ability to adapt technique to conditions for the purpose of gaining predictable results.
Certainly the teacher who would make his teaching life an interesting and effective adventure with youth will wish to possess whatever scientific insight is necessary to an artful stimulation and control of growing minds. We recognize the field of human psychology as vast. At best its mastery is a patient and difficult matter. The important thing is to make a correct beginning. It will be highly economical of energy and discouragement. The waste of wrong views and partial views can hardly be overestimated. And such waste is largely avoidable if only the first general view of the nature of mind is accurately acquired.

Excerpt from Developing Mental Power
We have long sought a presentation which would give teachers and other daily workers with mind a simple general view of mental life in its fundamental working aspects. We have been fortunate enough to find the exposition required, and it is ofiered in this monograph. We are con fident of the influence it will have upon the Amer ican public which reads books on psychology. We are especially glad to offer this statement of the theory of the developing mind in a series intended for teachers because of the particular form of argument which the author has utilized to express his views. It meets with beneficent directness most of the fundamental doubts and controversies which have enmeshed the teaching profession for a quarter of a century.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating and complex nature of the human mind, exploring its intricate workings and how it can be cultivated for optimal performance. Challenging traditional notions of "mental faculties," the author argues for a more nuanced understanding of mental abilities as interconnected and dynamic processes. Drawing upon scientific research and insightful observations, the book examines the interplay between mind and body, highlighting the crucial role of emotions and instincts in shaping our thoughts, actions, and overall well-being. It emphasizes the importance of nurturing positive emotions and harnessing their power to fuel our intellectual pursuits and strengthen our resolve. Moreover, the author advocates for a holistic approach to education that goes beyond simply filling the mind with information. Instead, the focus should be on cultivating essential habits of mind, such as critical thinking, focused attention, and the ability to discern the important from the trivial. This involves a profound "re-directing and strengthening" of our inner order, akin to a transformative journey of self-discovery. Ultimately, this book offers a compelling vision of the human mind as a vast and dynamic landscape, brimming with potential. By understanding its intricate workings and attending to its emotional and motivational forces, we can unlock our true mental power and embark on a path of continuous growth and self-improvement.
