The Energies of Men

Exploring the concept of overcoming fatigue, this text delves into the phenomenon of the "second wind," applicable to both mental and physical challenges. The author, William James, outlines the stages of fatigue and how pushing through these barriers can lead to unexpected rejuvenation. The work illustrates that while fatigue may intensify initially, it can eventually dissipate, leaving individuals feeling more refreshed than before. This book appeals to those interested in human potential and antiquarian literature, accompanied by a new introductory biography of James.
