"As A Man Thinketh"
by James Allen (1864 - 1912)
"As A Man Thinketh" is a small ebook of 48 pages but contains a very powerful message depicting the power of thought. It was not intended as an exhaustive treatise on the much written-upon subject of the power of thought. It is suggestive rather than explanitory, its object being to stimulate men and women to the discovery and perception of the truth.
"As A Man Thinketh", a world classic, was written by James Allen. He writes:
Man is made or unmade by himself; in the armoury of thought he forges the weapons by which he destroys himself; he also fashions the tools with which he builds for himself heavenly mansions of joy and strength and peace. By the right choice and true application of thought, man ascends to the Divine Perfection; by the abuse and wrong application of thought, he descends below the level of the beast. Between these two extremes are all the grades of character, and man is their maker and master.
James Allen
About The Author
James Allen was born in Leicester, Central England on November 28, 1864. In 1874 when James was only fifteen years old, his father died and due to the family crises, he was forced to leave school and eventually become a private secretary for several British manufacturers. It wasn't until 1902 when James decided to devout his time to his love, writing.
Soon after finishing his first book, “From Poverty To Power”, Allen moved to Ilfracombe, on England's southwest coast. The little resort town with its seafront Victorian hotels and its rolling hills and winding lanes offered him the quiet atmosphere he needed to pursue his philosophical studies. “As A Man Thinketh” was Allen's second book. Despite its subsequent popularity he was dissatisfied with it. Even though it was his most concise and eloquent work, the book that best embodied his thought, he somehow failed to recognize its value.
Allen insists upon the power of the individual to form his own character and to create his own happiness. “Thought and character are one,” he says, “and as character can only manifest and discover itself through environment and circumstance, the outer conditions of a person's life will always be found to be harmoniously related to his inner state. This does not mean that a man's circumstances at any given time are an indication of his entire character, but that those circumstances are so intimately connected with some vital thought element within him that, for the time being, they are indispensable to his development.”
Unfortunately, Allen's literary career was short, lasting only nine years, until his death in 1912. During that period he wrote nineteen books, a rich outpouring of ideas that have lived on to inspire later generations.
