As a Man Thinketh - Paperback

As A Man Thinketh by James Allen is one of those must read, internationally bestselling nonfiction classics everyone ought to read, men and women alike -- despite its gender-specific title. The short and sweet book is divided into 7 sections: "Thought and Character," "Effect of Thought on Circumstances," "Effect of Thought on Health and the Body," "Thought and Purpose," "The Thought-Factor in Achievement," "Visions and Ideals," and "Serenity." Allen's message of envisioning and creating the life one wants to lead, that one's thoughts determine who one is and even how one ages, and how vital it is to lead a life of character and purpose, is sure to resonate. Allen's wisdom has a certain gravitas and is all the more inspiring given his challenging and inspiring life story. Born in England in 1864, Allen had to begin working at the age of fifteen after his father was murdered while seeking work in America. Allen thus worked for nine years as a factory knitter, then secretary. Pair this with James Allen's other timeless classics such as Eight Pillars of Prosperity.
