In this book, Green puts forth his fervent conviction that the Western world is out of proportion and on the wrong track in its reliance on science as a way of life for the spirit of man. He believes that little is to be learned from our mechanistic psychology but that much is to be learned from oriental religious psychology. Originally published in 1945.
