The Untroubled Mind
Herbert J. Hall
Book Overview:
A very wise physician has said that “every illness has two parts—what it is, and what the patient thinks about it.” What the patient thinks about it is often more important and more troublesome than the real disease. What the patient thinks of life, what life means to him is also of great importance and may be the bar that shuts out all real health and happiness. The following pages are devoted to certain ideals of life which I would like to give to my patients, the long-time patients who have especially fallen to my lot.

I am not satisfied when some moralist says, “Be good and you will be happy.” The kind of happiness that comes from a perfunctory goodness is a thing which I cannot understand, and which I certainly do not want. If I work and play and serve and employ, making up the fabric of a busy life, if I attain a very real happiness, I am tormented by the desire to know why I am doing it, and I am not satisfied with the answer I usually get. The patient may not be cured when he is relieved of his anæmia, or when his emaciation has given place to the plumpness and suppleness and physical strength that we call health. The man whom we look upon as well, and who has never known physical illness, is not well in the larger sense until he knows why he is working, why he is living, why he is filling his life with activity. In spite of the elasticity and spring of the world’s interests, there must come often, and. . . Read More

This is a book that try to heal common problems like worrying, overthinking, how to deal with idliness and other mental problems. It is a short and light book that does nit require a lot of concentration. I am familiar with most of the concepts in the book but it is good to remind your self from tim
I probably have read at least 30 self-improvement books. I can confidently tell that the new ones, those published in the last 20 years, are not worth the effort to read. With minor exceptions, a chapter here and there, a reference to ancient wisdom and perhaps the 20 bucks invested in a self-improv
Dr. Hall, in eleven brief chapters, provides remedies for some of the most common mental illnesses like overthinking, burnout, anxiety, to name a few.
When one comes upon a book that deals with the affairs of the mind, one hopes it to have a mention of the affliction one is supposedly affected by. If
Marvelous !
100 years did not fundamentally change our views on worry and how to obtain a peace of mind. Some truths are absolute like the one that worrying about worrying cannot solve your worrying. You cannot think yourself out of anxiety, in fact the harder you try to outthink your worrying the more persiste
Phenomenal in the ways of how so many of us feel, but are too afraid to voice. To identify with the complexities of life and accept yourself with all the struggles and demands. I found it so honest and thought... finally a great and profound discovery that helps to concur fear, pressure and self dou
My mind still troubled after finishing this book
Written by a physician in 1915 who apparently treated many workaholics. He's correct that rest is needed for health and a fruitful life; he omits that a certain wealth is needed to create space for restoration, reflection, beauty, and creativity.

Interesting look at the spiritual aspect of well being from the lens of a physician. Nothing new or ground breaking, but a good recap of how "pretending to be happy" like many new age philosophies teach is just that "pretending".
The true way to joy is through our spiritual connection to God. Being t
