| Summary: | "This volume represents the outgrowth of a long standing desire on the part of the author to present in non-technical language the essential principles of sound personality development. The author has endeavored in this volume to present a non-academic yet substantial treatment of the psychological principles involved in a fundamentally sound program of improvement in both personality and social adjustment. The author chose to include matters pertaining to character development because of the belief that a truly wholesome personality is characterized by a desire to behave in accordance with the better dictates of society. The book is not addressed to scholars. It is written for intelligent persons who are interested in personality as it affects the everyday conduct of life and to younger college students who are eager to understand their own natures as well as how to avoid the pitfalls of psychological disorders. It is suggested that Personality and Life might well be used as a second semester text in personality development to follow the introductory course in general psychology. The book is also offered as a textbook for non-technical mental hygiene courses as given in four-year liberal arts colleges. The book should prove useful as well to junior college and high school teachers and counselors who endeavor to guide students in harmony with the sound principles of mental hygiene known to psychology today"--Introduction.
