Initiative Psychic Energy Being the Sixth of a Series of Twelve Volumes on the Applications of Psychology to the Problems of Personal and Business Efficiency

The book opens by asking a simple, universal question—why do we all hit that sudden wall of fatigue in the middle of a task? It explains how a conscious act of will can summon a “mental second wind,” letting the mind tap hidden reservoirs of power more than once in a day. By breaking down everyday experiences like “blue” Mondays and the urge to quit, the author shows how even ordinary workers can transform weariness into renewed vigor.

Building on that foundation, the text maps out the anatomy of mental energy, from kinetic reserves to the subtle habits that drain it. Readers learn practical ways to guard against waste, balance work with rest, and turn desire into disciplined action. With concise experiments, real‑world examples, and clear guidelines, the work offers a toolkit for anyone who wants to boost personal productivity and sustain success in business or personal pursuits.
