ABOUT THE AUTHORS

INTRODUCTION

Why James Allen Still Matters

By Mitch Horowitz

James Allen’s literary career was short, ranging roughly from the publication of his first book in 1901 to his death in 1912. Yet these few years of output resulted in nearly twenty books, including one of the most widely read inspirational works of our time: As a Man Thinketh.

Allen’s book became read in households where few or no other positive-mind books were found.
