About this book
Nervous Ills, Their Cause and Cure is a book by Boris Sidis. The text says the fear instinct is the primitive instinct of the life impulse, the impulse for self-preservation. The text says the fear instinct is the last to fall asleep, and the first to awake.
The text says the overwhelming intensity of the fundamental impulse of self-preservation is well described by the great writer Dostoevsky. A passage in the first person lists fears for children: that something may happen to them, that they may fall sick suddenly, and that some terrible accident may happen to them. The text says that an intense state of fear, conscious or subconscious, produces a state of aboulia, a state of indecision, and a state of incompletion of action.
