As a Man Thinketh

First published in 1903, 'As a Man Thinketh' is James Allen's most enduring work and a cornerstone of the New Thought movement. In seven brief essays — from 'Thought and Character' to 'Serenity' — Allen develops a single conviction: that we are made or unmade by our own thoughts, and that circumstance is the outward mirror of the inner life. Written in a spare, aphoristic prose that reads almost like scripture, the book has quietly shaped more than a century of self-help and personal-development writing. This edition restores the original foreword and epigraph and presents each essay as its own chapter.
