Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from How to Do It: To Which Is Added How to Live Since I have been able to think of such things, I have been surprised that there are so few books on what may be called "Practical Ethics." I could take down from my own shelves three hundred books which discuss the origin of the moral sense, - why there are duties and why we should try to discharge them. But in the same collection of books I should find it hard to select twenty on the details of the practical business of life. I have a few books, very few, which tell how to skate, how to swim, and how to ride on horseback. These certainly belong to what I should call "Practical Ethics." But when you ascend a little from that grade of duties, the books of practical advice are fewer and fewer. When I entered college, for instance, no one told me, by word of mouth or in writing, anything of the practical management of the fifteen hours a day which were given into my care. I knew, in general, that I ought to be regular in my recitations, and that I ought to know my lesson when I arrived there.
