Psychology of Relaxation

Author: G.T.W.PATRIC

No engineer or architect undertakes to build a bridge or skyscraper without an accurate knowledge of the strength of the material. Modern life is a kind of social skyscraper. The minds of the individuals who constitute society are the material. This material is put under too much tension. A collapse necessarily follows. In our social life, these collapses appear as reactions or reversions.

Also, the perpetual desire for advancement has become excessive among people in recent years, and we may say that there is constant rebellion against it and a constant urge to flee from it. Returning to nature, laughter, and sports are one of the most popular methods of relaxation.
