Preface

In every man and woman there are enormous untapped resources. Only a small percentage of yours are being used. You are like a hundred-acre field with only ten acres under cultivation.

You are letting Discouragement, Worry and Fear grip you and ruin your life when you could be happy.

You are letting yourself get old when you could stay young and attractive.

You are doing all kinds of things to your body that make you ill when you could be well and strong.

You are timid and self-conscious when you could be radiant with self-confidence.

You are a failure, financially and otherwise, when you could be a glorious success.

But determination alone will not do it.

Knowledge has always been necessary to the accomplishment of anything. The will to solve a problem is useless without the knowing how.

PREFACE There is a key to successful, joyous living, based on natural laws. This volume deals with these natural laws, with special reference to those of biology and psychology. It puts into graphic, vivid form the psychology of the great universities, and applies it in everyday language to the everyday problems of everyday people. It is the psychology of the great scientists made practical.
