Adventures in Self-Discovery is a book based on the author's own psychic experiences. Seabury tries to shew that in order to get rid of a neurosis, or to change a personality, the most important step for the individual is to see that he has been going against his own nature. In order to make a fresh start he should thrust away tradition and his early childhood experiences and be his true self. He believes that there are moments of insight when the individual sees his difficulties so clearly that he can make an attempt to overcome them; helped by this insight and by means of his will power he can then direct his energies towards creative living, as he calls it.
