Purchase options and add-ons

Eminently quotable and full of practical advice for individuals who want to better themselves, As a Man Thinketh is an essential little volume published in 1902 which explains and promotes the direct connection between our thoughts and our happiness. Do you believe in the power of positive thinking — yet remain unclear as to how that power can be harnessed in your life? James Allen’s As a Man Thinketh explains and promotes the direct connection between what we think and the direction our lives take. Part of the New Thought Movement, Allen reveals the secrets to having the most fulfilling existence possible, and it’s easier than any of us could have imagined. You, too, can learn how to master the output of your brain in order to obtain the personal success of which you have always — until now — merely dreamed.

Multiple reviews confirm how poignant and powerful As a Man Thinketh is in every facet of the life of the average person.

``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 - --from The Author, James Allen

A true distillation of wisdom

How is it that I am 31 years old and only now reading this? What seems most refreshing about this book, despite its age, is the refinement of ideas that clearly endure. We find ideas as ancient and enduring as those found in The Bible and the philosophy of Stoicism and as contemporary as the understanding that stress and anxiety reak havoc on the body (though it should be noted the “Thought and its effect on the body” chapter should be taken with a grain of salt. There is an effortless and seamless synthesis of principles that account for a wide variety of perspectives on happiness, peace, and success. It is unfortunate that it is written in a way that portrays a “masculine” point of reference, but if one can instead think of the phrase “a man” as a collective of our species, as in ‘huMANity’ then this book is truly for everyone.

Great little book on how thought is the shaper of our lives
Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2023
Verified Purchase
This books hails broadly from the genre of positive thinking along with Think and Grow Rich, The Power of the Subconscious Mind etc, but it has two positive qualities over those two books in particular. One is that it doesn’t have a creeping reverence for money the way those two tend to (despite their protestations to the contrary). Clearly they were speaking to an audience whose overriding motivation was to get wealthier monetarily. Secondly it doesn’t make too much of the power of thought over physical circumstances - the sort of miracle faith healing ideas that dominate The Power of the Subconscious Mind. Such ideas seem de rigour in books with a strong christian religious leaning because one must justify the supposed miracles of Christ. But in this book there is no such compunction and the author is happy to limit the effects of thought to first and foremost the positive or negative experience one has of life, and secondly to the circumstances that ripple out from such states of mind.

I bought this book used, but still didn't expect to find two pages deliberately removed. Otherwise, this book is very compact, precise and inspiring. I'm just pissed that two pages were removed by the previous owner. However, I think this was an oversight by the seller. Great little book
