Psychologist William James His Dedication To Hard Work Changed Way We View Mind's Inner Workings.(A)
Byline: HABIT-FORMING: James said repeating behavior would train the brain, making desired actions increasingly easy.
By Gloria Lau
Investor's Business Daily
William James was angry. He'd entered the field of modern psychology to learn what made people tick. But all the other psychologists could talk about was the moral and ethical meanings of behavior.
James (1842-1910), the brother of novelist Henry James, found that unacceptable. So he set out to change it.
He believed psychology not only needed to be looked at from its moral anglesbut also from its medical and biological viewpoints.
James was an unusual man with unusual views. He wasn't afraid to share thoseviews and he stood up for them in the face of criticism by older, respected psychologists. Throughout his life he'd do so over and over again.
