How We Do Things: The Role of Attention in Spiritual Life

Four energies, or four kinds of operation, combine together to produce the field of human action. If we understand that there are these energies behind all that we do, then we can learn how to do things more intelligently. Manipulation of the functions themselves is nowhere near as effective as dealing with the energies that make them work. J.G. Bennett gives a practical way of changing the relationships between our energies. This is the key to a new way of life, for we are thereby able to put our attention where it counts most. The book is based on lectures given by J.G. Bennett in the 1960’s in the context of practical application of the ideas.
