The William James book Dallas reads from extensively in this session is "Psychology: The Briefer Course" - https://amzn.to/3L0Nqif

“Dallas Willard taught this intensive seminary course in 2010 on the psychology of redemption SF611 titled, "The Human Contribution to Holiness: What is Our Part in Putting Off the Old Person and Putting on the New." Presented in 17 parts, the course objectives were to appropriate the teachings of Jesus in real life, to practice several spiritual disciplines, to experience personal renewal and to equip leaders in their roles in local congregations.
