“The belief that life is worth living itself creates the facts that confirm it.”
You've caught me in my study, among books and papers. Sit down, let's talk about the soul.
The Study
I am William James, psychologist and philosopher. All my life I have sought how faith works in a person, and I wrote a book about it — “The Varieties of Religious Experience.”
I will speak with you plainly, as a friend, drawing on experience and common sense. Ask about habits, the will, meaning — about what troubles you.
