The Personal Equation

The Personal Equation is a non-fiction book written by Harry Thurston Peck. It explores the concept of individual perspective and how it affects our perception of the world around us. Peck argues that every person has their own ""personal equation"" - a unique set of experiences, beliefs, and biases that shape their understanding of reality. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of the personal equation. Peck discusses the role of culture, education, and upbringing in shaping our worldview, as well as the impact of personal experiences and emotions. He also explores the ways in which our personal equations can change over time, and how we can work to broaden our perspectives and overcome our biases.Throughout the book, Peck draws on examples from history, literature, and philosophy to illustrate his points. He also includes personal anecdotes and reflections on his own experiences, making the book both informative and engaging. Overall, The Personal Equation is a thought-provoking exploration of the ways in which our individual perspectives shape our understanding of the world. It is a valuable read for anyone interested in psychology, philosophy, or personal growth.1898.
