Collection: Elsie Lincoln Benedict

Explore the works of Elsie Lincoln Benedict, a widely read early twentieth-century lecturer and writer on personality, human behavior, vocational aptitude, self-analysis, and the development of individual abilities.

Benedict sought to translate observations about temperament, character, and mental training into practical systems readers could apply to work, relationships, communication, and personal growth. Her books form part of the historical literature of applied psychology and self-development.

This collection includes rare original and archival editions of Benedict’s writings, including works on personality development and the training of the mind.
