Timidity: How to Overcome It

The book is in fair condition for its age. The hardcover binding shows some wear, particularly at the spine edges, but remains intact and functional. The pages are yellowed, consistent with age, but free from inscriptions or library markings. There is no dust jacket present, which is typical for editions of this period.

"Timidity: How to Overcome It" by Yoritomo-Tashi, published by Funk & Wagnalls Company in 1915, is a hardcover edition that explores the psychological aspects of overcoming fear and timidity. This book is part of the 'Mental Efficiency Series' and is an 'Authorized Edition' translated by Mary W. Artois, with comments by B. Dangennes. The work is grounded in the teachings of the Japanese philosopher Yoritomo-Tashi, offering insights into building mental resilience and confidence. While the original publication year is 1915, this particular printing reflects the early 20th-century interest in self-improvement and psychological well-being. The absence of a dust jacket and the presence of a sturdy hardcover binding suggest a focus on durability and accessibility. This book is a valuable addition for collectors interested in historical self-help literature or psychological studies from the early 1900s.
