Your own mind has the power to transmute every external phenomenon to its own purposes.\" - A. B\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this volume are gathered two of Arnold Bennett's most inspiring essays on self-mastery and personal development. In The Human Machine (1908), he explores the inner workings of the mind as if it were a delicate yet powerful mechanism. With Mental Efficiency (1911), Bennett continues this exploration, focusing on the cultivation of intellectual alertness, concentration, and balanced living. Written in a lucid and engaging prose, these two classic texts invite readers to take command of their own \"human machine\" and to use it with intelligence, calm, and purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Arnold Bennett\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9791029919145\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fv Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/16\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 154\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Arnold Bennett","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48520121614591,"sku":"9791029919145","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_671b06a6-ce8a-4d08-b9e4-1d1432114b9b.jpg?v=1778740875","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-human-machine-and-mental-arnold-bennett-9791029919145","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
