Psychology: Briefer Course by William James
This concise textbook presents psychology as a practical, empirical study of mental life and behavior, emphasizing the stream of consciousness, the role of attention, the formation of habits, and the adaptive functions of thought and feeling; it explores perception, memory, association, the subconscious, emotion (arguing that bodily changes accompany and help constitute emotional experience), and the exercise of will, while advocating introspection supplemented by experimental methods and applying psychological principles to education, religion, and everyday conduct.
