Within On the Mind and Happiness are two books A Common-Sense View of the Mind Cure by Laura M. Westall and The Untroubled Mind by Herbert J. Hall written on the benefits of a happier mind and its effect on life and health. A very wise physician has said that "every illness has two parts--what it is, and what the patient thinks about it." What the patient thinks about it is often more important and more troublesome than the real disease. What the patient thinks of life, what life means to him is also of great importance and may be the bar that shuts out all real health and happiness.
