Introduction

THE MIND IS an integral part of man, a part that man cannot do without. Our lives in general are patterned by the workings of our minds. It is generally believed that a man can succeed a particular task no matter how difficult if only he puts his mind to it. This brings us to a place where we can say that success and failure are products o f the mind. For us to be able to harness our true potentials there is a need for us to understand the workings of the mind and how we can better our lives and that of the people around us, hence the book Your mind and You.
