This book has for its purpose the cultivation and development of a Strong Character, a Positive Individuality, in its students. It teaches you "how to make yourself over" by means of cultivating, developing and strengthening the Positive Character-Qualities, and through restraining, inhibiting and getting rid of the Negative Character-Qualities.
The Positive Character Qualities are those which make you "stronger, better and more efficient." The Negative Character-Qualities are those which make you "weaker, worse, and less efficient." This book considers each class of Character Qualities; it gives you the Positive Norm and the Two Negatives of each. It tells you how to attain the Positive Norm, by cultivation and development; it also tells you how to escape from the power of the Two Negatives. This book is remarkable in many respects; in fact, there is no other book in existence just like it. It is a liberal education in itself, and no one can help being benefited by its study and the application of its principles and practical methods of Character Building.
If you recognize and realize your own deficiencies of Character—your own weak points and inefficient spots—and are desirous of "making yourself over" along the lines of Positivity, Efficiency, Capacity, then this is the very book for you. If you have some relative, friend, acquaintance, or employee who you think is failing to make the best of his life and his opportunities by reason of his shortcomings and weaknesses of Character, then you can do him no better service than to have him read and study this book.
