As A Man Thinketh by James Allen

It’s just 28 pages but it covers everything. Quick and usually pretty simple. (Audiobook at the bottom of this post)

Maybe I’ve too many suggestions from the same person because it seems every inspirational/self help-ish book I print out has the same message. YOU ARE WHAT YOU THINK! Okay! I get it! In this case it was your thoughts form your character and circumstances or how you see the circumstance. Good angle and thank god it was a short one. Contents included Thought on circumstances, health and body. Thought and purpose, thought factor in achievement, visions, ideas and serenity. I think we’d all agree with the last one… When you’re totally at peace or at one with whatever it is you’re doing… its like you’re not doing it anymore… you’re so in the moment that you become the instrument of doing isn’t it? Anyway thanx to DD for the recommendation.

From the book:
Although his book, As A Man Thinketh, has inspired millions around the world and is partly responsible for launching an entire self-improvement industry, very little is known about its author, James Allen. He was born in Leicester, England in 1864 and worked as a personal secretary for an executive of a large English corporation until 1902. At the age of 38 he “retired” to writing and moved with his wife to a small cottage at Ilfracombe, England. He penned more than 20 works before suddenly passing away at the age of 48.

As A Man Thinketh has influenced many contemporary writers including Norman Vincent Peale, Earl Nightingale, Denis Waitley and Tony Robbins, among others.

His “little volume”, as he called it, has been translated into five major languages, inspiring millions of readers to recognize that man’s visions can become reality, simply through the power of thought.
