| Summary | "Nerves and Common Sense" by Annie Payson Call is a self-help book written in the late 19th century that explores the concept of managing nerve strain through practical advice and personal anecdotes. The work centers on enhancing one's mental and emotional well-being by addressing harmful habits and fostering healthier responses to stressors in everyday life. At the start of the book, the author discusses the formation of habits that lead to nervous strain and depression, suggesting that understanding these habits can facilitate a transition to healthier living. Call emphasizes that negative emotions such as resentment and resistance not only impact mental health but also manifest physically, urging readers to cultivate relaxation techniques and a more thoughtful approach to their interactions with the world. She provides various examples, including the story of a woman whose nervous condition stems from external disturbances, illustrating the importance of self-awareness and initiative in overcoming such challenges.
