As A Man Thinketh

By James Allen

Author of “From Poverty to Power

A BEAUTIFUL little volume, the object of which is 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 circumstance, and
that, as they may have hitherto woven in ignorance and
pain, they may now weave in enlightenment and happiness.

CONTENTS

It is little books like this that give one higher ideals and renewed inspiration. They make one forget “circumstances” and “environment” and think only of the power that lies within oneself. “Thought tends to take form in action,” and Mr. Allen shows how practical this can be made and what a force it can become in the life of any one. “You will be what you will to be” is not merely a poetical thought, but a practical truth. With a definite ideal in his mind, believing in it and working toward it, Mr. Allen claims a man can make of himself what he wills. “As a Man Thinketh” is a book to make a friend of and may be studied for years without exhausting its truths.
