James Allen

James Allen was born in Leicester, England, in 1864. He took his first job at age 15 to support his family, after his father was murdered while looking for work in America. Allen was employed as a factory knitter and a private secretary until the early 1900s, when he became increasingly known for his motivational writing. His 1903 work As a Man Thinketh earned him worldwide fame as a prophet of inspirational thinking and influenced a who's-who of self-help writers, including Napoleon Hill.

This is very simliar to Rhonda Byrnes "The Secret". Your thoughts translate into your actions, your actions effects your choices and your choices affect your life. Good read.

Summary: Oh the power of thought! The author sets out to prove the value of our thoughts and how they can literally change our world. This idea was really mind boggling for me and I believe it to be a necessary read every year.

Tremendous powerful stuff. pg 18 "The man who does not shrink from self-crucifixation can never fail to accomplish the object upon which his heart is set".. whoa!

As a Man Thinketh has a lot of insight and direction on right thinking. The author seems to take "personal responsibility" to the extreme in that he ignores the effects that others and circumstances of chance can have on a person.

I love this book. It is motivating and empowering the readers that whatever your mind, heart, and soul are into, pursue it because it is what makes you what you are. A man may command his hidden soil and seeds and becomes a rightful master of himself. It also states that you will become what you will be and let failure finds its false content.

Got from John Senesi. It discusses reaching serenity with one’s self. A very short self help pamphlet.
