As a Man Thinketh - Complete Original Text
As a Man Thinketh - Complete Original Text | James Allen
"As a Man Thinketh" is a literary essay by James Allen, published in 1903. It was described by Allen as "... dealing with the power of thought, and particularly with the use and application of thought to happy and beautiful issues. Allen has tried to make the book simple, so that all can easily grasp and follow its teaching, and put into practice the methods which it advises. It shows how, in his own thoughtworld, 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. It was also described by Allen as "A book that will help you to help yourself", "A pocket companion for thoughtful people", and "A book on the power and right application of thought.

I really enjoyed the examples, correlation, and how the author easily described the cause and effect of our thoughts. It's a nice short read or in my case, an hour walk enjoying the sun. ☀

First published in 1903, this self-help book pretty much says that the way we think shapes our destiny...
Yes, positive thinking can be useful, but I don't agree with James Allen's extreme view on the subject.
I honestly didn't enjoy this read. Truth be told I hate self-help books... Then it's quite a repetitive book, luckily a short one. To sum it up, it's not my cup of tea.

Howard_L I agree about self help books. They can generally be reduced to their title or at least a sentence or two. 5y

It's reading and relaxing time!
Au menu: tea, delicious chocolates, and of course some food for thoughts ;)

“As a man thinketh in his heart so is he”

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things. Philippians 4:8

Rinse and repeat baby

A classic first published in 1902, this 45 page book is jam-packed with thoughts on the nature of man. With gems such as: “Cherish your visions; cherish your ideals; cherish the music that stirs in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts, for out of them will grow all delightful conditions...”. This book is not to be read but to be absorbed into your very consciousness.

Every man is where he is by the law of his being; the thoughts which he has built into his character have bought him there, and in the arrangement of his life there is no element of chance , but all is the result of a law which cannot err.

A man only begins to be a man when he ceases to whine and revile, and commences to search for the hidden justice which regulates his life.
