All that we achieve and all that we fail to achieve is the direct result of our own thoughts.“Self-control is strength. Right thought is mastery. Calmness is power. ” ― James Allen, As a Man Thinketh

"As a Man Thinketh" is a literary essay by James Allen, first published in 1902. In more than a century it has become an inspirational classic, selling millions of copies worldwide and bringing faith, inspiration, and self healing to all who have encountered it. The title comes from the Bible: "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." -- Proverbs, chapter 23, verse 7.

As himself Allen describes, “It shows how, in his own thought-world, each man holds the key to every condition, good or bad, that enters into his life, and that, by working patiently and intelligently upon his thoughts, he may remake his life, and transform his circumstances. …and it can be carried in the pocket.”

Too many mortals strive to improve only their wordly position--and too few seek spiritual betterment. Such is the problem James Allen faced in his own time. The ideas he found in his inner-most heart after great searching guided him as they will guide you.

A True Classic that Belongs on Every Bookshelf!

    This is a simple, but POWERFUL book. It holds a lot of biblical value and strength. The subconscious mind is more powerful than most people would care to chat about. If the average person could ever sit still long enough and actually take an interest to conquer their thoughts and renew their minds it would be a lovely day. The world would be as peaceful as a field of fresh flowers blooming in the spring. It would shed light on a whole new beginning of life almost like a butterfly coming out of its cocoon and flying freely into a new environment. Our thoughts become our actions and our actions have a way of displaying our personal behaviors which depict our characters. This is a good book for a mature person that is ready and willing to seek personal changes. I read this book and shared this book with my husband last year around this time. Change is always good, but you have to desire it first.

    When reading this book, do not read it like a novel cover to cover. Read this paragraphs or a few pages a day and ponder what you read. You will inevitably get a better understanding out of what is written and how you can apply it in your life. If you do read it cover to cover, then I suggest go back and read it in sections after and mark and take personal notes as you go. So much insight and wisdom is provided that if you really want to make a change in your life for the better or even to just progress a little more, you will get more out of each section if you read at a slower pace and allow yourself to take the time to apply this wisdom in your life. HOWEVER you read it, I can assure you that you will keep this in your library for ever and reference often. I purchased a bunch of these book and have given them as gifts to people I know that are looking for more direction in their life. What they do with it, is up to them, but I know it is a great reference to have when needed.

    A very good read. I’m reading it multiple times to truly learn from this book on the idea of ‘they themselves are the makers of themselves’. Planning to pass this book on to my son when he comes of age.

    I got this book because I had heard many people speak about how this book has helped them better themselves in some way or another. I wasn't, and still do not like reading, especially books. But when I opened it for the first time I would find myself wanting to read more. The way things are put in this book I found helped me break habits I've been trying to break by changing my way of thinking for the better. If you are skeptical about buying this book, don't be, It's worth every penny and I am very glad I got it.
