e urge which causes him to revert, in the manifold
activities of everyday life, to the methods, manners and peculiarities
common to his type.
This means that unless he gets into an environment, a vocation and a
marriage which permits of his doing what he _wants_ to do he will be
miserable, inefficient, unsuccessful and sometimes criminal.
Causes of Crime
That this is the true explanation of crime has been recognized for
many years by leading thinkers. Two prison wardens--Thomas Tynan of
Colorado and Thomas Mott Osborne of Sing Sing--effectively initiated
penal reforms based upon it.
Every crime, like every personal problem, arises from some kind of
situation wherein instinct is thwarted by outside influence.
Human Analysis teaches you to recognize, on sight, the predominant
instincts of any individual--in brief, what that individual is inclined
to do under all the general situations of his life. You know what the
world tries to compel him to do. If the discrepancy between these two is
beyond the reach of his type he refuses to do what society demands.
This and this only is back of every human digression from indiscretion
to murder.
It is as vain to expect to eradicate these inborn trends and put others
in their places as to make a sewing machine out of an airplane or an oak
out of a pine. The most man can do for his neighbor is to understand and
inspire him. The most he can do for himself is to understand and
organize his inborn capacities.
Find Your Own Type
The first problem of your happiness is to find out what type you are
yourself--which you will know after reading this book--and to build your
future accordingly.
Knowing and Helping Others
The second is to learn how to analyze others to the end that your
relationships with them may be harmonious and mutually advantageous.
Take every individual according to the way he was born, accept him as
that kind of mechanism and deal with him in the manner befitting that
mechanism. In this way and this only will you be able to impress or to
help others.
In this way only will you be able to achieve real success. In this way
only will you be able to help your fellowman find the work, the
environment and the marriage wherein he can be happy and successful.
