The Energies of Men (ISBN 9781404734791) is an essay written by William James, a professor of philosophy at Harvard University. It was first published in 1907 by The American Magazine.[1][2][3][4]
In this essay, James discusses the phenomenon of "second wind" in both physical and mental activities. He explains that when confronted with an uncommon need, we have the ability to overcome the initial exhaustion and access untapped reserves of energy that are typically dormant. [1]
James further delves into the concept that a solitary triumph of moral determination, like resisting a recurring temptation or carrying out a brave deed, can propel an individual to a heightened state of energy that lasts for days or weeks, providing them with a newfound capacity.[5]
