About the author
Harry Dexter Kitson (1886–1959) was an American psychologist who taught for many years at Columbia University, where he focused on vocational choice and vocational guidance. His representative work, How to Use Your Mind, addresses students and general readers, discussing how to use the mind effectively and improve methods of learning and thinking; it belongs to the literature of study guidance and self-improvement. Publicly available information about his life and scholarly output is quite limited, and this entry can only offer a brief account based on the records available here. Even so, the book's long circulation and repeated reading suggest a practical, clearly organized style that turns psychological knowledge into workable advice, offering general readers some value for improving their study methods.
