The Springs of Character (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Explore how who we are comes together—from hidden impulses to deliberate choices—and how character shapes every choice we make. This practical introduction examines what character is, where it comes from, and how it is formed. It highlights the interplay between the unconscious mind, habit, will, and even the influence of higher ideas on daily conduct.

The book lays out a clear framework for understanding character as an organic whole, not a mere sum of parts. It speaks to readers who want solid ideas about self‑improvement, ethics, and the forces that guide behavior.

• Definitions of character, mind, and the unconscious, with accessible explanations


• How heredity, habit, and will interact to shape who we become


• Discussion of balance, harmony, and the idea of a well‑proportioned character


• Insights into pleasure, pain, motive, and moral choice that influence action

Ideal for readers of philosophy, psychology, and personal growth who seek a thoughtful, observational approach to character.
