"Nervous Breakdowns and How to Avoid Them" by Charles D. Musgrove is a self-help book written in the early 20th century. The work focuses on the understanding of nervous breakdowns, their symptoms, and preventive measures, drawing parallels between human health and the mechanics of machinery. The author aims to equip readers with strategies to maintain their mental and physical well-being, thus avoiding the pitfalls of nervous disorders that often afflict capable individuals under stress. At the start of the book, the author uses the metaphor of an express train to illustrate how sudden breakdowns can occur without warning, particularly for those who devote themselves intensely to their work or personal commitments. Musgrove discusses the nature of breakdowns, identifying emotional and physical signs that may precede a crisis, such as fatigue, irritability, and an overwhelming sense of worry. He emphasizes the importance of recognizing these danger signals early, as well as adopting a lifestyle that promotes a better balance of health through proper diet, exercise, and rest. The opening sets the stage for a thorough exploration of health and the various factors influencing the onset of nervous disorders, inviting readers to take proactive steps towards maintaining their overall well-being.
