As You Think: Second Edition

About this ebook

In 1904, a relatively unknown Englishman named James Allen wrote a little book called As a Man Thinketh. The book has become one of the world’s greatest self-help books — “self-empowerment” is a better term — for it not only reveals to us that the keys to success are within our own minds, it shows us how to use these keys to unlock the greatest fulfillment we can imagine. In this revised edition, author and publisher Marc Allen updates this classic, changing language that has become dated or obsolete, and honing the clarity of the message. He makes As You Think gender inclusive, showing how these principles are truly universal and apply to everyone, regardless of sex, age, race, beliefs, social class, or education. As You Think is a simple yet powerful reminder that “all we achieve and all that we fail to achieve is the direct result of our own thoughts.” We are the masters of our destinies.

Ratings and reviews

Not as easy to read initially. As I read more, I found that every few paragraphs I needed to stop and reflect what was written in order to understand what the author is writing about. Another book that I would definitely recommend.

These words have been a blessing of guidance to me all my adult life! May they be a blessing for you all!

I've read this book at least five times now and I am always learning. Reinforcing my positive thoughts and actively changing my life

About the author

James Allen was born in Leicester, England in 1864. Because of family difficulties following his father's death, he had to leave school when he was fifteen. He worked for several British manufacturers until 1902, when he decided to write full-time. After he finished his first book, From Poverty to Power, he moved to Ilfracombe, on England's southwest coast, and lived there until his death in 1912. He wrote nineteen books in all. As You Think is his acknowledged masterpiece.
