The Culture of Will Power (1916) by Arthur Gould presents will not as an inborn gift possessed by a few, but as a capacity strengthened through repeated choice and disciplined habit.
Gould considers self-control, attention, goal formation, persistence, resistance to distraction, and the relation between character and deliberate action. The book belongs to the practical psychology and self-culture literature of the early twentieth century, where mental efficiency was closely linked with moral training.
