Summary: "When a Man Comes to Himself" by Woodrow Wilson is a philosophical essay written in the early 20th century. It explores the transformative experience a man undergoes when he comes to an awareness of his true self and purpose in life. The book reflects on the psychological and spiritual journey of self-discovery, emphasizing that this awakening can occur at various points in life and is essential for personal growth and responsibility. In the essay, Wilson discusses how a man finds his true place in the world through experiences that challenge his self-absorption and illuminate his capacities beyond mere personal ambition.
