This work is a treatise upon the fascinating and valuable art of analyzing human character. It makes no attempt to teach, as such, the technical principles upon which this art is based.

i really liked this book, with some alterations u can use this book to your present. this is NOT just a past book.
The other commentor seems to have derived some big dissappointment regarding his own vocation after just reading the first pages. it is my advice to u to read full book before commenting.
the causes of misfits are the same that exist as today. The human beings are the same as existed in the time of the book.
Just the vocations have increased, more diversified. We face the same problems regarding our professions as did people in the past.
