Excerpt from Business PsychologyThe understanding of psychology is one of the most important roads to success for the modern business man. Industrial and commercial work are in thousand-fold contact with the mental life. Salesmanship and advertising, learning and training for technical labor, choosing the right position and selecting the right employe, greatest efficiency at work and avoidance of fatigue, treatment of customers and of partners, securing the most favorable conditions for work and adapting the work to one's liking, and ever so many other problems stand today before the business world and cannot be answered but by psychology.To reach such an understanding it is not necessary that the business man enter into the depths of all those dark questions over which the scientific psychologists are wrangling.
