Swami Akhilananda shows how to reach mental health by applying the classic techniques of Hinduism. The author explains how a stable and healthy mind is the starting point for spiritual quest. He thus brings together psychology and religion in a most universal manner, showing that personality development and the search for ultimate values are one and the same discipline. The books approach is hard-hitting and practical, using case histories from the Swami's thirty-five years' counselling experience. This is a reprint of the 1951 edition.
