About this book
The preface says that “the Author's purpose was to help mankind to overcome these weaknesses, which are a serious impediment to mental development”. A line printed above the preface reads “Poise is a power derived from the Mastery of Self”. The book says: “Reasoning-power is the trade-mark of superior minds” and “True poise never is guided by anything but reason.”
On health, the book says that “To those who would seriously devote themselves to the cultivation of poise it is, therefore, a vital necessity to be in a condition of perfect health.” The book says that “indecision, exaggerated scrupulousness, extreme pliability, hypochondria” should be “ruthlessly supprest the moment we become aware of them”. The book says that “lack of sincerity toward themselves is always one of the faults of those who are wanting in poise”.
