The review from Amazon.com reviewer
Atkinson covers the whole spectrum on a very interesting subject: The Mind! From what it is, to how it works, to what creates certain feelings and how those feelings can be transformed or utilized to your benefit. It is indeed a practical manual anyone can gain insight from - very powerful.
CHAPTER I.
What is the Mind?
PSYCHOLOGY is generally considered to be the
science of mind, although more properly it is
the science of mental states — thoughts, feel-
ings, and acts of volition. It was formerly the custom
of writers on the subject of psychology to begin by an
attempt to define and describe the nature of mind,
before proceeding to a consideration of the subject of
the various mental states and activities. But more
recent authorities have rebelled against this demand,
and have claimed that it is no more reasonable to hold
that psychology should be held to an explanation of the
ultimate nature of mind than it is that physical science
be held to an explanation of the ultimate nature of
matter. The attempt to explain the ultimate nature of
either is futile — no actual necessity exists for explana-
tion in either case. Physics may explain the phenom-
ena of matter, and psychology the phenomena of mind,
without regard to the ultimate nature of the substance
of either.
The science of physics has progressed steadily during
the past century, notwithstanding the fact that the
theories regarding the ultimate nature of matter have
been revolutionized during that period. The facts. of
the phenomena of matter remain, notwithstanding the
change of theory regarding the nature of matter itself.
Science demands and holds fast to facts, regarding
theories as but working hypotheses at the best. Some
one has said that "theories are but the bubbles with
which the grown-up children of science amuse them-
selves." Science holds several well-supported, though
opposing, theories regarding the nature of electricity,
but the facts of the phenomena of electricity, and the
application thereof, are agreed upon by the disputing
theorists. And so it is with psychology; the facts re-
garding mental states are agreed upon, and methods of
developing mental powers are eflEectively employed,
without regard to whether mind is a product of the
brain, or the brain merely an organ of the mind. The
fact that the brain and nervous system are employed
in the phenomena of thought is conceded by all, and
that is all that is necessary for a basis for the science of
psychology.
