About this book
The Foundations of Personality is by Abraham Myerson, M.D. Chapters include The Organic Basis of Character, The Environmental Basis of Character and Memory and Habit, among others. The text says that if character is control of emotions, firmness of purpose, cheerfulness of outlook and vigor of thought and memory, then the tired man, worn out by work or a long vigil, is changed in character. Fatigue alters character, the text says, even though the change is temporary and disappears with rest.
Hope, the foreseeing of a possible success, is necessary for most courage, the text says, though now and then despair acts with a courage that is largely pride. The idea of a future world has given more courage to man in his difficulties than all other conceptions together, according to the text. The hypochondriac directs his attention to his health and is in part a monothymic of the fear type, and Moliere's Le Malade Imaginaire is called a classical study of this person.
