LFilbert 5.0 out of 5 stars I would not be surprised if most self-help books could trace their lineage back to this chapter. James writes in a very accessibly way, and makes psychological concepts easy to understand.The work is very accessible, the style very straightforward, and the content far from dry or textbookish. The experience is definitely enhanced if one is familiar with some of the basic tenets of early modern thinkers (especially those like Kant and Hegel), but this knowledge is in no way required to enjoy James.

He is treating psychology as a natural science, but it is important to understand that beyond this book James is a broad-ranging thinker, and so his Psychology dips its toes in many other fields of philosophy, and some fields not at all treated by philosophers (as, for example, the section at the end of Chapter 3 where he describes his experiences with spiritual mediums). The book itself is printed well enough, and contains no extraneous material (introductory essays from some scholar, intrusive footnotes, chapter analyses, etc.), just the way I like it.But I prefer the Dover edition because the book does not have one of those prefaces that robs the reader of discovering James for him or herself and because this edition gives you more bang for the buck.He was way ahead of his time and what he wrote then is still relevant and insightful today.I did not expect to be missing chapters from the original book, very disappointed. Also, for anyone with visual challenges, the font in this book is very old-fashioned. The font itself looks bold and the letters blur together. You just gotta love the guy.Book itself was in good shapeAn abridged version of the classic 19th century textbook By Howard Jones This is a simpler, less detailed version of William James' Principles of Psychology that was published in two volumes. William James was one of the founders of the subject and was both psychologist and philosopher. In this book he covers many of the classic topics that are of interest to both psychologists and lay people with his perceptive views presented in an accessible style that makes his writing easy to read for the non-specialist. Thus he writes about habit, the stream of consciousness, the self, (mental) conception, association, memory, emotion, will, and other issues in an original and enlightening way. His views on habit underlie Rupert Sheldrake's principle of the morphic field in the way that events in the material world become easier when they are repeated.

His thoughts on will or voluntary attention provided the inspiration for Jeffrey Schwartz and Henry Stapp's view of the mechanism of mind - that it was the act of volition that constituted free will, to focus on just one of the ripples in the stream of consciousness. James uses the life of a bird as a metaphor for the human stream of consciousness, comprising flights and perchings. There are some interesting reflections on the mental continuity of the self, despite physical changes to the body. This book is at the same readable academic level as James' books on The Variety of Religious Experience and Pragmatism, but is likely to appeal to a wider readership - to anyone in fact who is interested in human nature. There are so many pearls of wisdom here for a book written more than a century ago, and intimations of things that subsequent neurologists with a battery of sophisticated equipment have shown to be correct. Dr Howard A. Jones is the author of The Thoughtful Guide to God (2006) and The Tao of Holism (2008), both published by O Books of Winchester, UK. Sorry, we failed to record your vote.

Indeed, professors at colleges and universities throughout the United States use this book—which their students labeled “Jimmy” to distinguish it from the larger “James”—in their classes, and more than six times as many copies of the Briefer Course were sold by 1902 as were sets of Principles. For example, to the material from Principles James added several chapters on the physiology of the senses that helped mesh his psychology with the other sciences of the period. The earlier chapter title “The Stream of Thought” is replaced here with “The Stream of Consciousness.” Psychology: Briefer Course remains a useful and highly readable introduction to James’s views on psychology and is an essential source for anyone interested in studying all of his psychological writings.

To warm up to the task, I decided to read a couple shorter books of James's. First, I tackled his Varieties of Religious Experience —a pioneering work on the psychology of religion, and a similarly respected classic. There’s a lot of good stuff in that book, and he makes many points neglected by other scholars of religion. Nevertheless, James’s verbosity is on full display. Pages and pages are filled with extended quotes. Instead of sticking to the analysis, James lets himself get carried away in his fascination with altered mental states. He includes diary entrees, testimonies, and biographies of mystics from the past, all quoted in extenso. Much of it was fascinating; but much was redundant. Thus, I was led to suspect that the 1,400 page behemoth on the horizon was similarly stuffed with fluff. The next book of his I read was Pragmatism (which is at least mercifully short). Not only was I unimpressed with that work, but I found much of it to be downright stupid. So by the end of those two books I suspected that William James's magnum opus was both bloated and bland.

As a result, when I heard that William James had himself condensed his larger work of psychology into this volume, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to both lay my curiosity to rest and to avoid getting bogged down in a verbal Slough of Despond. But my fears were misplaced. This is a big blooming buzzing brilliant book. I loved it from first to last. In fact, I fear that I’ll sound rather ecstatic when I try and describe how incredible an accomplishment this was. The most immediate and obvious merit of this book is simply James’s eloquence. As I read, I found myself highlighting passage after passage. He was surely at the height of his powers as a writer when he put this book together. Some sections are as beautiful as anything ever written by Proust on the inner life of the mind. Consider this quote on spacing out: Most of us probably fall several times a day into a fit somewhat like this: The eyes are fixed on vacancy, the sounds of the world melt into a confused unity, the attention is dispersed so that the whole body is felt, as it were, at once, and the foreground of consciousness is filled, if by anything, by a sort of solemn sense of surrender to the empty passing of time. In the dim background of our mind we know meanwhile what we ought to be doing: getting up, dressing ourselves, answering the person who has spoken to us, trying to make the next step in our reasoning. Every moment we expect the shell to break, for we know no reason why it should continue. But it does continue, pulse after pulse, and we float with it, until—also without reason that we can discover—an energy is given, something—we know not what—enables us to gather ourselves together, we wink our eyes, we shake our head, the background ideas become effective, and the wheels of life go round again. If that’s not beautiful, I don’t know what is. The next attraction of this great book is the multitude of fascinating glimpses it provides into the psychology of the past.
Psychologist would perform quirky experiments on themselves, such as one psychologist who tried to simultaneously mentally multiply numbers together while reciting poetry. Some experiments were more gruesome: severing the spines of frogs and then spilling acid on them; sticking thermometers in the brains of dogs, and then holding up a piece of meat to their noses to determine whether mental excitement produces a change of temperature. James even includes a footnote detailing instructions for dissecting the brain of a cadaver. But my favorite was an experiment in which subjects were placed on a delicately balanced table, so that any slight change in weight either of their head or legs would cause the table to tip in that direction. The experimenter would then ask the subject a question, thereby causing him or her to think, which caused blood to rush to the brain, thus tipping the table. It was the original MRI. The third and greatest attraction of this book is its enormous vastness. James manages to bring together the works of German, French, Italian, and Anglo-American thinkers; to combined cutting-edge knowledge of experimental psychology with Darwin’s ideas; to combine the long tradition of philosophy with the young (at the time) field of psychology. It’s not everyday that you see diagrams of the anatomy of the eye alongside discussions of Locke’s theory of ideas. Unfortunately, now I sort of wish that I had just gone ahead and tackled the bigger book—sort of. (Upon finishing The Principles of Psychology James famously wrote to his publisher that it was “a loathsome, distended, tumefied, bloated, dropsical mass, testifying to nothing but two facts: 1st, that there is no such thing as a science of psychology, and 2nd, that W.J. is an incapable.” Of course, I disagree.) But until I read the full version, all I can do is recommend this book with all my heart.

It is one of the greatest works of American literature, and one of the greatest books in the history of Western thought. A classic in every sense of the word. The remainder of the book is an abridgment of the earlier work, with philosophical discussions, quotations from other authors, and polemical material deleted or sharply curtailed. I will say a short word in the following three paragraphs about each of these. Everything that James writes has an empirical, physiological cast; and yet his work is far from reductionist. He uses what he describes as the analytical method to analyze the fact of consciousness into habit, emotion, instinct, reasoning, attention, and the like. James distinguishes the scientific approach of psychology from the questions of metaphysics of philosophy while showing their interrelations. Scientific studies are partial and rely upon evidence, while metaphysics involves an attempt to think globally. With an appealing humility, James stresses how little is fundamentally known about psychology, an observation that may still hold true today. James emphasizes the limited reach of human cognition and the selective character of all human perception. James also emphasizes, as did Kant, the deterministic character of scientific observation and study. But James does not find the physiological character of human effort necessarily inconsistent with human free will or with the power of the individual with effort to control his or her destiny. With all its scientific learning, the Psychology has an ethical, exhortatory tone as befitting its proposed use by students. James can be a magnificently inspiring writer. The Psychology concludes with a discussion of the will. James writes about the need to hold to the possibility of the free will in order to make an individual's life meaningful and significant.What wonder that these dumb responses should seem our deepest organs of communication with the nature of things.
What wonder if the effort demanded by them be the measure of our worth as men. Certain other editions in print omit the early chapters on sensation and should be avoided. The best source of this work for the interested reader is in volume 1 of the writings of William James, 1879-1899 published by the Library of America. It includes the Harvard text of the Principles as well as several other works of James and sells at an economical price. Robin Friedman I wasn't expecting this; literally, it looks like most of the primary concepts and principles that are presumed by contemporary psychological research were established here, in James's work. Reading this was a very rewarding experience; one gets to the heart of key psychological insights, which still hold true today, and gets to step over all the stati I wasn't expecting this; literally, it looks like most of the primary concepts and principles that are presumed by contemporary psychological research were established here, in James's work. Reading this was a very rewarding experience; one gets to the heart of key psychological insights, which still hold true today, and gets to step over all the statistical and circumstantial fluff, which dresses up contemporary works on psychology and does not add much substantial to these key insights. Moreover, James's writing is very lovely to read; he writes concisely and with beautiful, lyrical, and yet clear phrasings of complex ideas. There are too many, diverse ideas dealt with to be summarized here. Overall, the chapters can be read independently of one another; each focuses on a psychological concept, and none requires that one grasp the ideas found in previous chapters. I will here note my favorite of James's ideas. The social self was especially interesting for me. This is defined as the person we become (the set of habits, values, ways of expressing ourselves) when we are with persons of certain social groups.
For example, I am a different person when I am with my best friend vs.James points out that our social selves can be more or less harmonious with one another; many variables are at play in determining how cohesive they are. In chapter 4, James deals with attention, and in chapter 17, with volition. These two concepts are closely tied. James argues that free will is a matter of attending to things voluntarily. Our actions are determined by what objects or ideas are most present or salient in our minds. Often our actions are simply determined by the objects in our surroundings, which we automatically or pre-reflectively attend to. If we are torn between competing options, in the form of mental ideas or images or perceptions, the one that will win out will be the one that can grip our attention most forcefully. Our deeper interests will determine the extent to which an image or perception can capture our attention. Intuitively, if an object is especially scary or delightful, or extreme on some other emotional score, it will interest us and so leap to the foreground of our awareness. But also, James points out, our longer term and deeper habits shape our interests. If we habitually practice something (e.g., if I habitually think about a certain philosophical question), objects that have value or roles relative to our habits will be most compelling, even if typically they don't evoke strong emotions. James's account of habit is powerful, which he presents in chapter 1. James understands habit analogously to the laws of nature; as gravity ensures that unsupported objects fall, a habit to go on a morning walk will ensure that one does so every morning. James beautifully shows that the unique feature of being a human is that we can re-wire our habits. This is like creating new laws of nature, new tendencies of our bodies, emotions, and thoughts to unfold in specific ways.

Habits are critical in letting us do anything at all, from remembering items to reasoning about some issue at hand. We never do any cognitive activity from scratch, but the memories that will show up, or the reasons that are available to us that will constrain our possible conclusions, are all formed on the basis of extant habits. My only 'complaint' with this book is that most of the ideas are intuitive; very little is surprising, so there are few moments over the reading experience in which one has a sense of discovery. While much is intuitive, much is also usually just implicit in psychological and philosophical theories of the phenomena James deals with. He makes that which is most important explicit. This is essential reading for anyone who is interested in psychology or the mind. Also, readers interesting in the continental phenomenological tradition should read this; James was highly influential for Husserl and Heidegger, and this comes out evidently in James's overall methodological approach. A way to describe what James has done is that he is an extremely skillful and patient witness to all that happens in our field of awareness. At the time he was writing, there was little empirical science, and James's insights all come from noticing what goes on in his own experience. This is inspiring to see; it makes one want to attend to one's own experience and make discoveries similarly. It was a huge 2 volume set. He realized that professors and students would benefit with a more compact edition of his monumental work. Many of his insights into understanding the human mind presented here are still insightful and worth recalling that he gave us these insights first. Still shines bright after all these years. Well reasoned exposition that had to be incredibly difficult to bring words to. Some key ideas that still apply.
Among my favorites is the recognition that psychology is not a science due to the impossibility of capturing the physical phenomenon of consciousness or any 'state' of consciousness. It felt too much like a textbook to me. Would Recommend? No I like reading books like this on occasion. This was not my favorite psychology book I have ever read but it made some interesting points and was informative. My only complaint is I feel this edition can be more modernized for better understanding. Nonetheless, this is a provoking piece that sheds much light on the sciences and philosophy in the late 19th century. He was right before he was wrong.There are no discussion topics on this book yet.The first educator to offer a psychology course in the United States, James was one of the leading thinkers of the late nineteenth century and is believed by many to be one of the Along with Charles Sanders Peirce and John Dewey, he is considered to be one of the greatest figures associated with the philosophical school known as pragmatism, and is also cited as one of the founders of the functional psychology. He also developed the philosophical perspective known as radical empiricism. James' work has influenced intellectuals such as Emile Durkheim, W. E. B. Du Bois, Edmund Husserl, Bertrand Russell, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Hilary Putnam, and Richard Rorty. Born into a wealthy family, James was the son of the Swedenborgian theologian Henry James Sr and the brother of both the prominent novelist Henry James, and the diarist Alice James. James wrote widely on many topics, including epistemology, education, metaphysics, psychology, religion, and mysticism. Among his most influential books are Principles of Psychology, which was a groundbreaking text in the field of psychology, Essays in Radical Empiricism, an important text in philosophy, and The Varieties of Religious Experience, which investigated different forms of religious experience.
William James was born at the Astor House in New York City. He was the son of Henry James Sr., a noted and independently wealthy Swedenborgian theologian well acquainted with the literary and intellectual elites of his day. The intellectual brilliance of the James family milieu and the remarkable epistolary talents of several of its members have made them a subject of continuing interest to historians, biographers, and critics. James interacted with a wide array of writers and scholars throughout his life, including his godfather Ralph Waldo Emerson, his godson William James Sidis, as well as Charles Sanders Peirce, Bertrand Russell, Josiah Royce, Ernst Mach, John Dewey, Macedonio Fernandez, Walter Lippmann, Mark Twain, Horatio Alger, Jr., Henri Bergson and Sigmund Freud. William James received an eclectic trans-Atlantic education, developing fluency in both German and French. Education in the James household encouraged cosmopolitanism. The family made two trips to Europe while William James was still a child, setting a pattern that resulted in thirteen more European journeys during his life. His early artistic bent led to an apprenticeship in the studio of William Morris Hunt in Newport, Rhode Island, but he switched in 1861 to scientific studies at the Lawrence Scientific School of Harvard University. In his early adulthood, James suffered from a variety of physical ailments, including those of the eyes, back, stomach, and skin. He was also tone deaf. He was subject to a variety of psychological symptoms which were diagnosed at the time as neurasthenia, and which included periods of depression during which he contemplated suicide for months on end. Two younger brothers, Garth Wilkinson (Wilky) and Robertson (Bob), fought in the Civil War. The other three siblings (William, Henry, and Alice James) all suffered from periods of invalidism. He took up medical studies at Harvard Medical School in 1864.
He took a break in the spring of 1865 to join naturalist Louis Agassiz on a scientific expedition up the Amazon River, but aborted his trip after eight months, as he suffered bouts of severe seasickness and mild smallpox. His studies were interrupted once again due to illness in April 1867. He traveled to Germany in search of a cure and remained there until November 1868; at that time he was 26 years old. During this period, he In the dim background of our mind we know meanwhile what we ought to be doing: getting up, dressing ourselves, answering the person who has spoken to us, trying to make the next step in our reasoning. Every moment we expect the shell to break, for we know no reason why it should continue.

For this purpose I have omitted several whole chapters and rewritten others. I have left out all the polemical and historical matter, all the metaphysical discussions and purely speculative passages, most of the quotations, all of the book-references, and (I trust) all the impertinences, of the larger work, leaving to the teacher the choice of orally restoring as much of this material as may seem to him good, along with his own remarks on the topics successively studied.
