As a Man Thinketh is James Allen’s third book, first published in 1903. In it, he details how man is the creator and shaper of his destiny by the thoughts which he thinks. He rises and falls in exact accordance with the character of the thoughts which he entertains. His environment is the result of what he has thought and done in the past, and his circumstances in the future are being shaped and built by his present desires, aspirations, thoughts and actions. He therefore who chooses and pursues a particular line of thought, consciously builds his own destiny.
Part of the New Thought Movement, Allen reveals the secrets to having the most fulfilling existence possible, and it?s easier than any of us could have imagined. The title for the essay comes from the Bible: ?As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he,? Proverbs, chapter 23, verse 7. In more than a century, As A Man Thinketh has become an inspirational classic, selling millions of copies worldwide and bringing faith, inspiration, and self healing to all who have encountered it. In this new edition of As A Man Thinketh, readers will be enthralled by James Allen?s thoughts and direction to take charge of their own destiny, as it has for over 100 years.

Most of us are just operating on unconscious reactions to things.Â
Don’t buy this particular edition!

No, my one star simply refers to this DeVorss imprint, this veritable ‘mini-book’. Sadly nowhere on the page was it explained that this was a MINI version, a pamphlet indeed. My advice, pay the extra 2~300 yen and get yourself a ‘proper’ copy – one…
Changing your thoughts, changing your life This excellent compilation of essays by James Allen truly holds the key to success, amongst other things! I feel so inspired after reading this book, so ready to put into practice what this powerful, little book is teaching. This “classic” has been around since the turn of the century and it seems to be even more relevant in today’s stressful and competitive society. I underlined so many wonderful and inspiring passages that I intend to refer to on a daily basis. As Allen states, “a man…
