As a Man Thinketh

by James Allen, Marcela Allen Herrera, Allen James

Book Overview

James Allens classic AS A MAN THINKETH. The Bestselling Classic That Inspired "The Secret". AS A MAN THINKETH, Allen's most famous book, today is considered a classic self-help book. Its underlying premise is that noble thoughts make a noble person, while lowly thoughts make a miserable person. In "As a Man Thinketh," James Allen reveals how our thoughts determine reality. Whether or not we are conscious of it, our underlying beliefs shape our character, our health and appearance, our circumstances, and our destinies. Allen shows how we can master our thoughts to create the life we want, lest we drift through life unconscious of the inner forces that keep us mired in failure and frustration. "The Vision that you glorify in your mind, the Ideal that you enthrone in your heart-this you will build your life by, this you will become." This principle, which others have called THE SECRET or the LAW OF ATTRACTION, was clearly and convincingly stated for the first time in "As a Man Thinketh." As a being of Power, Intelligence, and Love, and the lord of his own thoughts, man holds the key to every situation, and contains within himself that transforming and regenerative agency by which he may make himself what he wills.

Good book

I love this book a good read

A New Favorite

Over the last few months, I have reread this book three times, and intend to do so whenever I feel lead. It's very short, but that's kind of what makes it perfect. It is a quick and easy introduction to manifestation and changing your mindset, and in a few short chapters says far more than some of the very lengthy tomes I've read about the same topics.

You Are Your Thoughts

James Allen does an exceptional job at reminding and hammering home the point “You are who you think you are” Vile or Pure, Honest or Wretched.. You are your own creator.

Phenomenal read.

Short read but each sentence is filled was so much insight and wisdom. This book is a feast packed into a neat tiny sandwich.

Very good book

I liked the book very much & learned a lot about myself & life . I really think everyone should read it .

Good Bood

This book helps you to understand the power of your thoughts and what you think you are, you're right... Think on good, kind and lovely thoughts about yourself and you will change.

Incredible!

Wonderful, thought-provoking book. The info on the author on the dust jacket is a valuable addition.

As A Man Thinketh

This is one of my favorite books and it has been a tremendous influence in my life. I have read it many times and it is fresh and life changing each time I pick it up to read again. I have given it as a gift many times.

good book can never produce bad result!

This book is one of its kind, and one of the best! EVen Anthony Robbins takes quotes from this book and recommends it to his listeners. It's amazing, such a tiny little book, yet it contains the most important believe that each of us must have in order to succeed. "Success is caused by successful thoughts!" Bad thoughts can never produce right results. I have already seen how this works in my life. Years ago I was sick with negative self sabotage and thinking. Then I came upon some books especially Harold SHerman's "TNT-The Power Within You", Joseph Murphy's "The Power Of Your Subconscious Mind", etc and this one. Read this one and you'll be convinced why you can't wish things to go right when your thinking is wrong. Like the ignorant saying "Hoping for the best but expecting the worst".... break out of that my friend. Stop poisoning your mind... learn why and how with this book! You'll soon see that this world is but a mirror, reflecting to you what you think and do.
