"Health Through Will Power" by James J. Walsh is a psychological health guide written in the early 20th century. This work emphasizes the crucial role of willpower in maintaining health and recovering from disease, challenging the prevailing focus on intellect alone. It posits that human will not only influences mental resilience but also has a significant impact on physical vitality and longevity. The opening of the book sets the stage by discussing the transformative effects of war on individuals, suggesting that extreme experiences can unveil hidden strengths of willpower. Walsh uses compelling anecdotes to illustrate that the will to live can dramatically impact recovery from illness, arguing that willpower is often the deciding factor in a patient’s ability to heal. He also critiques modern society's comforts as detrimental to willpower, advocating for a life that actively exercises the will to foster both resilience and healthier living. This initial exploration establishes the foundation for the deeper discussions on the will's role in various aspects of health that follow in the subsequent chapters.
