simple message of this essay could not be misconstrued, the fact that it has been wholly misunderstood in newspaper comment warns us that it is necessary to preface it by stating that it does not counsel all persons to drive themselves at all times beyond the limits of ordinary endur- ance, that it is not a gospel of overstrain nor an advocate of t...

piece of work, either intellectual or mus- cular, feeling stale—or oold, as an Adirondack guide once put it to me. And everybody knows what it is to " warm up" to his job. The process of warming up gets particularly striking in the phenomenon known as "second wind." On usual occasions we make a practice of stopping an oc- cupation as soon as we mee...
beyond the very extremity of fatigue-distress, amounts of ease and power that we never dreamed ourselves to own,—sources of strength habitually not taxed at all, because habitually we never push through the obstruction, never pass those early critical points. Getting One's Second Wind,
non of second wind, trying to find a physiological theory. It is evident that our organism has stored-up reserves of energy that are ordinarily not called upon, but that may be called upon: deeper and deeper strata of combustible or explosible material, discontinuously arranged, but ready for use by anyone who probes so deep, and repairing themselv...

Of course there are limits: the trees don't grow into the sky. But the plain fact remains that men the world over possess amounts of re- source which only very exceptional individuals push to their extremes of use. But the very same [9] THE ENERGIES OF MEN individual, pushing his energies to their extreme, may in a vast number of cases keep the pac...
ceptions, first, that few men live at their maxi- mum of energy, and second, that anyone may be in vital equilibrium at very different rates of energizing, he will find, I think, that a very pretty practical problem of national economy, as [10] THE ENERGIES OF MEN well as of individual ethics, opens upon his view. In rough terms, we may say that a ...

Most of us feel as if a sort of cloud weighed upon us, keeping us below our highest notch of clearness in discern- ment, sureness in reasoning, or firmness in de- ciding. Compared with what we ought to be, we are only ha...
Admit so much, then, and admit also that the charge of being inferior to their full self is far truer of some men than of others ; then the prac- tical question ensues: to what do the better men owe their escape? and, in the fluctuations which all men feel in their own degree of energizing, to what are the improvements due, when they occur?

illustrate this difference. The rapid rate of life, the number of decisions in an hour, the many things to keep account of, in a busy city man's or woman's life, seem monstrous to a country brother. He doesn't see how we live at all. A day in New York or Chicago fills him with ter- ror. The danger and noise make it appear like a permanent earthquak...
what chronic effects duty's appeal may produce in chosen individuals. John Stuart Mill some- where says that women excel men in the power of keeping up sustained moral excitement. Every case of illness nursed by wife or mother is a proof of this ; and where can one find greater examples of sustained endurance than in those thousands of poor homes, ...

The academy's committees, with great good sense, have shown a partiality to vir- tues simple and chronic, rather than to her spas- modic and dramatic flights; and the exemplary housewives reported on have been wonderful and admirable enough. In Paul Bourget's report for this year we fin...

tunately it turned out to be only a severe sprain, but I am still conscious of the wrench it gave me.

The excite-ment of the work was so great that no lesser one seemed to have any chance against it, and I cer- tainly never found my intellect clearer or my nerves stronger in my life.

Morbid cases, here as elsewhere, lay the nor- mal machinery bare. In the first number of Dr.
gy, Dr. Janet has discussed five cases of morbid impulse, with an explanation that is precious for my present point of view. One is a girl who eats, eats, eats, all day. Another walks, walks, walks, and gets her food from an automobile that es-corts her. Another is a dipsomaniac. A fourth pulls out her hair. A fifth wounds her flesh and burns her s...

James believed in free will and the power of the mind to affect events and determine the future. In The Will to Believe (1897) and The Varieties of Religious Experience (1902), he explores metaphysical concepts and mystical experiences.
