By Roger W. Babson

Book Overview

Instincts and Emotions: Should They Be Suppressed or Harnessed? is a book written by Roger W. Babson that explores the role of instincts and emotions in human behavior. The author argues that while instincts and emotions can be powerful forces that drive individuals towards success, they can also lead to negative outcomes if not harnessed properly. Babson draws on his own experiences as an entrepreneur and businessman to provide examples of how instincts and emotions can either help or hinder success. He also discusses the scientific research on the topic, including studies on the brain and how it processes emotions.The book is divided into two parts: the first focuses on instincts and the second on emotions. In each section, Babson examines the positive and negative aspects of these forces and provides strategies for harnessing them effectively. He also discusses the importance of self-awareness and self-control in managing instincts and emotions.Overall, Instincts and Emotions: Should They Be Suppressed or Harnessed? is a thought-provoking book that encourages readers to consider how they can use their instincts and emotions to achieve their goals. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in personal development, psychology, or business management.1927. This volume is not a scientific treatise of this or any other psychological subject. It contains a confession of one who has spent his life developing the largest statistical community in America; but failing himself to learn one of the greatest lessons which statistics teach. Some will be interested in the book as a businessman's commentary on the Ten Commandments. The real lesson which the author learned and endeavors to pass along may be gathered by reading the first three chapters and the last five chapters. This book should be especially valuable to all parents, teachers and preachers who are dealing with young people.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
