William James



quote from William James ‘Principles of Psychology’

‘It is possible that genius tends actually to prevent a man from acquiring habits of voluntary attention , and that moderate intellectual endowments are the soil in which we may best expect, here as elsewhere , the virtues of the will, strictly so called to thrive’

A Psychologist with real insight-

Here’s link to his wonderful chapter on habits, the importance of developing them.
