The More Abundant Life or Bio-Psycho-Genetics

About this book

William Marcus Taylor joins biology, psychology and the promise of self-improvement in a theory he calls bio-psycho-genetics. The title announces a hope that new knowledge of human life could lead to greater personal power.

The More Abundant Life reflects a period when scientific terms moved rapidly into spiritual and self-culture publishing. Its use of heredity and mental development belongs to that historical mixture, and its claims require independent evidence before being treated as science. The work tells us how readily the new language of biology could be recruited into arguments about character, health and the future of humanity.
