Egoism Not Egotism is a philosophical book by William Walker Atkinson that explores the concept of egoism and its relationship with egotism. Atkinson argues that egoism, or the belief in self-interest and self-preservation, is a natural and necessary aspect of human nature. However, he distinguishes egoism from egotism, which he defines as excessive self-centeredness and the disregard for the well-being of others.Throughout the book, Atkinson examines the various ways in which egoism and egotism manifest in human behavior and relationships. He discusses the importance of balancing self-interest with consideration for others, and offers practical advice for cultivating a healthy sense of egoism while avoiding the pitfalls of egotism.Atkinson draws on a range of philosophical and spiritual traditions, including Stoicism, Buddhism, and Christian theology, to support his arguments. He also incorporates examples from literature and real-life situations to illustrate his points.Overall, Egoism Not Egotism is a thought-provoking exploration of a complex and often misunderstood aspect of human nature. It offers valuable insights and guidance for anyone seeking to understand and navigate the balance between self-interest and the well-being of others.THIS 20 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: New Psychology Its Message, Principles and Practice, by William Walker Atkinson.
