Mastering Ourselves"Mastering Ourselves" is Dr. King's exploration of the inner struggle for good and evil that occurs within every human's experience. Dr. King asserts that this "dualism" can sometimes cause good people to do bad things and bad people to do good things.

He also suggests finding a profitable way to use leisure time coupled with a devotional life and continuous prayer. |
