| Summary | "Menticulture; or, the A-B-C of True Living" by Horace Fletcher is a self-help and philosophical guide written in the late 19th century. This book centers around mental well-being and personal growth, advocating for the elimination of negative emotions such as anger and worry to achieve a more fulfilling life. The author draws on historical and philosophical teachings to expound on his ideas, seeking to cultivate a mindset conducive to happiness and personal development. In "Menticulture," Fletcher presents his theory of personal betterment through the 'germ cure,' which posits that harmful emotions are mental parasites rooted in anger and worry, inhibiting growth in both mental and physical health. The book recounts Fletcher's personal experiences and observations, demonstrating how he transformed his life by consciously dispelling these negative emotions. He encourages readers to adopt an attitude of appreciation and gratitude, positing that true freedom and happiness can be achieved through the practice of mental discipline. By organizing communities around the principles of Emancipation, Fletcher envisions a collective shift towards a more harmonious society where individuals support each other in their mental and spiritual growth.
