In As A Man Thinketh, New Thought teacher James Allen reveals the fundamental truth of human nature: “A man is literally what he thinks.”
Allen’s deceptively simple principle has changed the lives of millions of readers, making As A Man Thinketh a classic bestseller for decades. In addition to the original text of As A Man Thinketh, this edition also includes Allen’s deeply thoughtful work From Poverty to Power.
Allen explains that our character, identity, ability, and success are all determined by the thoughts in our minds.
Instead of finding ourselves victims of the world, each of us has the ability to shape and define our own destinies.
Finances, health, social status, and success are all external manifestations of the thoughts that populate our minds.
Allen offers his readers an opportunity to seize control of their minds and create the lives they’ve always imagined.
