As a Man Thinketh

Peace,
All summations of books, if not stated otherwise, come from http://www.bn.com. I won't be giving a review of each book. Each book posted though will be one that I have read, am planning to read, or is relevant to the science of everything in life.


As a Man Thinketh by James Allen


FROM OUR EDITORS
Allen, a 19th-century Englishman, was convinced that positive thinking produced health, wealth and a sense of well-being. His argument is clear and timeless: within each of us is the spiritual power to overcome the troubles of everyday life. 5" x 7 1/4".
ANNOTATION
Illustrating a timeless Biblical principle, this book lays the groundwork for the power of positive thinking.
FROM THE PUBLISHER
Allen's practical philosophy of successful living has awakened millions to the discovery and perception of the truth that "they themselves are makers of themselves". Building on the Bible verse. "As a man thinketh, so he is", Allen insists that it is within the power of each person to form his own character and create his own happiness.




This is one of those classics that expounds on the mind, the brain, mental power, and manifestation of thought. If you substract the 'mystery god' concept you will find a nice piece on personal responsibility, self reliance and self actualization. It is one of the closest things that I have seen to 'christian buddhism'. I suggest this book to new borns in the Nation all of the time.
