As a Men Thinketh - James Allen

Auteur

James Allen was a British author of philosophical books in the early 1900s. He is best known for his book, "As a Man Thinketh," published in 1903. He is widely regarded as a pioneer in the motivational/self-help movement. His down-to-earth message of positive thinking and self-empowerment has spread around the world and influenced the writings of contemporary authors, including Norman Vincent Peale's "The Power of Positive Thinking" and Joshua Liebman's "Peace of Mind."

This little volume (the result of meditation and experience) is not intended as an exhaustive treatise on the much-written-upon subject of the power of thought. It is suggestive rather than explanatory, its object being to stimulate men and women to the discovery and perception of the truth that- "They themselves are makers of themselves" by virtue of the thoughts which they choose and encourage; that mind is the master-weaver, both of the inner garment of character and the outer garment of circimistance, and that, as they may have hitherto woven in ignorance and pain they may now weave in enlighteimient and happiness. James Allen.
