Synopsis
Perseverance: How To Develop It by H. Besser is a 1915 guide in Funk & Wagnalls' Mental Efficiency Series on cultivating steadfastness and moral resolve. The work distinguishes true perseverance from obstinacy and excessive enthusiasm, and it outlines the impediments to steady effort, such as laziness, lack of self-confidence, impatience, and superficiality. It then presents a two-part program: (1) understanding the acquisition of perseverance through disciplined thinking and motivation, and (2) practical exercises and daily-life applications, including methods to develop willpower, patience, composure, attention, and continuous effort. The book emphasizes deliberate planning, conscientious decision-making, and the necessity of maintaining a single dominating aim, while offering step-by-step exercises (mental and physical) to train regular, purposeful action. It also discusses choosing a vocation, seizing opportunities, and using perseverance as a key to fortune. The Preface cites historical examples and champions perseverance as a universal instrument for success.
