Towards a General Theory of Mind

This is the first philosophy book that I've found useful towards a general theory of mind. Granted, I am not well read in this regard.

William James seems to be a major influence. Russell also seems up to date on the psychology of his time.

The reader is satisfactory. The content requires more concentration than a normal book but is still definitely understandable audibly.
