The reader of this book, beguiled into buying it in virtue of its title, will find very little in it that can help him to 'understand himself'. On the one hand, it purports to explain some of the physiological functions that take place in the body, but these explanations are too meagre to be really useful. On the other hand, there is an attempt to explain mental functioning, but this explanation consists merely of a confused account of many views which tend only to mystify rather than enlighten the reader.
