Rate this book

Two great classic self-help, Law of Attraction books together in one volume with liberating and inspirational quotes from the greatest thinkers in history.

As A Man Thinketh, by James Allen
In this classic self-help book that spawned a new era of thought, James Allen writes that a man is literally what he thinks, his character being the complete sum of all his thoughts.
Before The Secret and The Law of Attraction, Allen’s teachings were inspiring those who seek to better their lives through personal revelation.

“The soul attracts that which it secretly harbors, that which it loves, and also that which it fears. It reaches the height of its cherished aspirations. It falls to the level of its unchastened desires - and circumstances are the means by which the soul receives its own.��

As a Man Thinketh is Allen’s most well known book, and the inspiration behind contemporary works such as The Secret.

It Works! by R.H.J
Where As A Man Thinketh tells you why, It Works! shows you how. Three hundred pages are boiled down to ten minutes of interesting facts, a definite plan and three short rules of accomplishment.
Do not let your worldly, incredulous objective mind keep you from more prosperity and happiness than you have dreamed of.
Test the power of this baffling book that defies tradition and common thinking. Millions have tried the plan and they understand the truth that It does Work.

Allen was 15 when his father, a businessman, was robbed and murdered. He left school to work full-time in several British manufacturing firms to help support the family. He later married Lily L. Allen and became an executive secretary for a large company. At age 38, inspired by the writings of Leo Tolstoy, he retired from employment. Allen �� along with his wife and their daughter, Nohra �� moved to a small cottage in Ilfracombe, Devon, England to pursue a simple life of contemplation. There he wrote for nine years, producing 19 works. He also edited and published a magazine, "The Light of Reason".

Allen's books illustrate the use of the power of thought to increase personal capabilities. Although he never achieved great fame or wealth, his works continue to influence people around the world, including the New Thought movement.

Allen's most famous book, As a Man Thinketh, was published in 1902. It is now considered a classic self-help book. Its underlying premise is that noble thoughts make a noble person, while lowly thoughts make a miserable person.

Following his death in 1912, his wife continued publishing the magazine under the name, "The Epoch".
