This Hardcover edition is cleanly formatted for easy reading. 12 point Garamond, 1.25 spacing. “As a Man Thinketh” is a book about the power of thought and its 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. It shows how, in his own thought-world, each person 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.”

These corrections may seem insignificant but I had to read the original, comparing page by page to this new edition, and then correct all nine copies purchased. I give these…

From the working class and devoid of extensive education, he wrote 19 works in nine years, endlessly republished (often as chapbooks, i.e., mini-pocket books) by myriad publishers.
