This edition is cleanly formatted for easy reading. 12 point Garamond, 1.25 spacing. “As a Man Thinketh” is a literary essay and book about the power of thought and its use and application for positive effects in one’s own life. It was first published in 1903 and has since become an inspirational classic, selling millions of copies around the world and bringing guidance and inspiration to all who have read it. Described by Allen as “A pocket companion for thoughtful people,” and “A book on the power and right application of thought,” the book is simple, so that all can easily grasp and follow its teaching, and put into practice its methods. 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. In Allen’s own words, “As a Man Thinketh” is a book that will help you help yourself. The title comes from the Bible: Proverbs, chapter 23, verse 7: “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.”

Most of us are just operating on unconscious reactions to things.
Don’t buy this particular edition! The one star has NOTHING to do with the content of this wonderful publication, it goes without saying that anyone who has stumbled upon the genius of Allen’s masterpiece knows full well that the truth is what it is, i.e. this book is sublime mastery. 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…
