Synopsis

How hidden motives guide every choice—and how to channel them toward better action.

In Roots of Desire, Dr. James Jackson Putnam explores the two main streams that shape our motives: constructive aims and adaptive, emotionally charged tendencies. The book argues that understanding these forces can strengthen self-control and illuminate the path to positive change.

Two short, accessible sections frame the work: a practical guide to identifying core motives, and a thoughtful look at how psychology, religion, and human experience intersect in daily life. The author blends psychoanalytic ideas with clear, relatable reasoning to show how our past lives inside our present decisions.
What you’ll experience
  • A clear map of where motives come from and how they influence choices
  • Practical ways to recognize and reframe hidden impulses
  • Insight into how reasoning, feeling, and will can work together for progress
  • Connections between personal growth, education, and broader beliefs
Ideal for readers of psychology, self-help, and philosophy who want a grounded view of why we act and how to act more constructively.
