Feeling Of Effort (1880)

The Feeling of Effort is a book written by American philosopher and psychologist, William James, originally published in 1880. This work is a study of the conscious experience of effort, exploring the subjective feeling of exertion and the mental processes involved in the perception of effort. James examines the relationship between effort and attention, arguing that effort is a product of attention and that the feeling of effort is a result of the attentional focus on the task at hand. He also discusses the role of motivation in the experience of effort, and the ways in which effort can be influenced by factors such as fatigue, habit, and emotion. The Feeling of Effort is considered a seminal work in the field of psychology, and remains a significant contribution to our understanding of the subjective experience of effort and its relationship to consciousness and cognition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
