Power of Mental Imagery Being the Fifth of a Series of Twelve Volumes on the Applications of Psychology to the Problems of Personal and Business Efficiency

This work explores how the mind’s eye, ear, nose, taste buds and even the sense of touch create vivid mental pictures that shape our everyday decisions. By distinguishing recognition—the ability to identify familiar past experiences—from imagination—the capacity to recombine those memories into new visions—the author shows how both processes serve as essential tools for personal growth and business effectiveness. Readers learn practical techniques for sharpening these mental faculties, turning ordinary recollection into a powerful engine for problem‑solving and creativity.

The book delves into the many forms of mental imagery, from visual snapshots of a familiar office to the fleeting scent of a favorite perfume or the subtle feel of a handball’s grip. Through clear examples, it reveals why some sensory memories are sharper than others and how to develop a more balanced, multisensory imagination. Armed with these insights, listeners can begin to harness their inner imagery to improve focus, communication, and innovative thinking.
