A little about the book
James asks what makes a train of thought feel continuous and how habit shapes a person’s actions. His examples range from familiar experiences of attention to the effort of noticing what introspection can and cannot show.
Volume one is long enough to read by chapter. The chapters on habit and the stream of thought offer distinct entry points into the larger project.
