The next is to understand the other fellow. For life is\u003cbr\u003elargely a problem of running your own car as it was built to be run,\u003cbr\u003eplus getting along with the other drivers on the highway.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom this book you are going to learn which type of car you are and the\u003cbr\u003emain reasons why you have not been getting the maximum of service out of\u003cbr\u003eyourself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlso you are going to learn the makes of other human cars, and how to\u003cbr\u003eget the maximum of co-operation out of them. This co-operation is vital\u003cbr\u003eto happiness and success. We come in contact with our fellowman in all\u003cbr\u003ethe activities of our lives and what we get out of life depends, to an\u003cbr\u003eastounding degree, on our relations with him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReaction to Environment\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe greatest problem facing any organism is successful reaction to its\u003cbr\u003eenvironment. Environment, speaking scientifically, is the sum total of\u003cbr\u003eyour experiences. In plain United States, this means fitting\u003cbr\u003evocationally, socially and maritally into the place where you are.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you don't fit you must move or change your environment to fit _you_.\u003cbr\u003eIf you can't change the environment and you won't move you will become a\u003cbr\u003efailure, just as tropical plants fail when transplanted to the Nevada\u003cbr\u003edesert.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLearn From the Sagebrush\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut there is something that grows and keeps on growing in the Nevada\u003cbr\u003edesert--the sagebrush. It couldn't move away and it couldn't change its\u003cbr\u003ewaterless environment, so it did what you and I must do if we expect to\u003cbr\u003esucceed. It adapted itself to its environment, and there it stands, each\u003cbr\u003elittle stalwart shrub a reminder of what even a plant can do when it\u003cbr\u003etries!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMoving Won't Help Much\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHuman life faces the same alternatives that confront all other forms\u003cbr\u003eof life--of adapting itself to the conditions under which it must live\u003cbr\u003eor becoming extinct. You have an advantage over the sagebrush in that\u003cbr\u003eyou can move from your city or state or country to another, but after\u003cbr\u003eall that is not much of an advantage. For though you may improve your\u003cbr\u003esituation slightly you will still find that in any civilized country the\u003cbr\u003emain elements of your problem are the same.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnderstand Yourself and Others\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo long as you live in a civilized or thickly populated community you\u003cbr\u003ewill still need to understand your own nature and the natures of other\u003cbr\u003epeople. No matter what you desire of life, other people's aims,\u003cbr\u003eambitions and activities constitute vital obstructions along your\u003cbr\u003epathway. You will never get far without the co-operation, confidence and\u003cbr\u003ecomradeship of other men and women.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrimitive Problems\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt was not always so. And its recentness in human history may account\u003cbr\u003efor some of our blindness to this great fact.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn primitive times people saw each other rarely and had much less to do\u003cbr\u003ewith each other. The human element was then not the chief problem. Their\u003cbr\u003eenvironmental problems had to do with such things as the elements,\u003cbr\u003eviolent storms, extremes of heat and cold, darkness, the ever-present\u003cbr\u003emenace of wild beasts whose flesh was their food, yet who would eat them\u003cbr\u003efirst unless they were quick in brain and body.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCivilization's Changes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut all that is changed. Man has subjugated all other creatures and\u003cbr\u003enow walks the earth its supreme sovereign. He has discovered and\u003cbr\u003einvented and builded until now we live in skyscrapers, talk around the\u003cbr\u003eworld without wires and by pressing a button turn darkness into\u003cbr\u003edaylight.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCauses of Failure\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYet with all our knowledge of the outside world ninety-nine lives out\u003cbr\u003eof every hundred are comparative failures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe reason is plain to every scientific investigator. We have failed\u003cbr\u003eto study ourselves in relation to the great environmental problem of\u003cbr\u003etoday. The stage-setting has been changed but not the play. The game is\u003cbr\u003ethe same old game--you must adjust and adapt yourself to your\u003cbr\u003eenvironment or it will destroy you.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMastering His Own Environment\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe cities of today _look_ different from the jungles of our ancestors\u003cbr\u003eand we imagine that because the brain of man overcame the old menaces no\u003cbr\u003enew ones have arisen to take their place. We no longer fear\u003cbr\u003eextermination from cold. We turn on the heat. We are not afraid of the\u003cbr\u003evast oceans which held our primitive forebears in thrall, but pass","brand":"All classic book warehouse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47147749179632,"sku":"2940014573023","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940014573023_p0.jpg?v=1763611184","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940014573023","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
