Impressive This was a very short read， yet very profound and impactful。 Made me ponder over many things the author said and completely made sense。 Was mostly direct and and to the point。

My rating is 2/5。As this book was written long ago， the idea presented in this book is not "out of the box" and can easily match with the other scripts of the same genre。 It lacks detailed illustration。 My rating is 2/5。As this book was written long ago， the idea presented in this book is not "out of the box" and can easily match with the other scripts of the same genre。 It lacks detailed illustration。 。。。more

A small and powerful read。 SELF-HELP ALERT！！！It focuses on how you can possibly achieve any dream with the power of thought and actions。 For me it was like the mini version of "The Secret" by Rhonda Byrne。 The book majorly focuses on how we can lead a better and productive life with the help of some basic principles。The title of the book itself is from Bible ， "As a man thinketh in his heart， so is he"。Favourite quotes:-1。 "Circumstances do not make a man， they reveal him to himself" A small and powerful read。 SELF-HELP ALERT！！！It focuses on how you can possibly achieve any dream with the power of thought and actions。 For me it was like the mini version of "The Secret" by Rhonda Byrne。 The book majorly focuses on how we can lead a better and productive life with the help of some basic principles。The title of the book itself is from Bible ， "As a man thinketh in his heart， so is he"。Favourite quotes:-1。 "Circumstances do not make a man， they reveal him to himself" 。。。more

You cannot just read this book once。 You need the reminder that your mind is your driving force on this planet。 It is one of the shortest yet most important books ever written in history。 It is also one of my most highlighted ones yet because there is so much important information。 Anyone at any age can read this fine piece of work。 💕

In James Allen’s book As A Man Thinketh， Allen talks about how someone’s thoughts can affect their lives in negative or positive ways。 He said， “A man is literally what he thinks， his character being the complete sum of his thoughts。” Think of it as a butterfly effect。 When a butterfly flaps its wings， it is hardly even measurable。 And yet， this tiny movement could still cause a tornado elsewhere。 Every bad thought we may have can escalate and greatly change our future。 Fortunately， this is the In James Allen’s book As A Man Thinketh， Allen talks about how someone’s thoughts can affect their lives in negative or positive ways。 He said， “A man is literally what he thinks， his character being the complete sum of his thoughts。” Think of it as a butterfly effect。 When a butterfly flaps its wings， it is hardly even measurable。 And yet， this tiny movement could still cause a tornado elsewhere。 Every bad thought we may have can escalate and greatly change our future。 Fortunately， this is the same for good thoughts。 One good thought can go a long way and considerably benefit you in the future。 James Allen knows that these kinds of thoughts can change different aspects of our lives。 They can affect our character， our circumstances， our health， our purposes， our achievements， our visions and ideals， and our serenity。Character is what defines us as a person。 James Allen uses the analogy “Act is the blossom of thought， and joy and suffering are its fruits; thus does a man garner in the sweet and bitter fruitage of his own husbandry。” Our thoughts are what cause us to act， and there are consequences to those actions。 Bad thoughts cause bad actions which cause bad consequences。 Good thoughts do the same， only they cause good actions and good consequences。 Some thoughts build us up while other thoughts break us down。The impure thoughts of our minds prevent us from reaping the rewards of good fruits and good circumstances。 In James Allen’s words， “Just as a gardener cultivates his plot keeping it free from weeds， and growing the flowers and fruits which he requires， so may a man tend the garden of his mind， weeding out all the wrong， useless， and impure thoughts， and cultivating toward perfection the flowers and fruits of right， useful， and pure thoughts。” Good thoughts can never provide bad circumstances and bad thoughts can never provide good circumstances。 Some people may think they simply have bad luck， but it may be the results of their impure thoughts。The body is affected by the mind。 Those who are optimistic and don’t fear disease often have healthier lives。 Those who do fear disease， however， are usually the ones who get it。 Good and pure thoughts are medicine to our minds and our bodies。 Happy people may naturally live longer than people who aren’t happy， according to some studies。When someone has a clear purpose in their mind and plans to set out to accomplish it， there is nothing that can stop him or her from completing that purpose。 In James’s words “。。。strength can only be developed by effort and practice。” Can someone put effort into something without putting in a lot of thought？ Probably not。 A person with weak thoughts can strengthen them by practicing pure thoughts， just like someone with a weak body can make it strong through practice and training。 Every thought brings power， and when we use those thoughts to our advantage， we can overcome any challenges。James has said， “All that a man achieves and all that he fails to achieve is the direct result of his own thoughts。” Achievements are tied with purpose。 All that is needed to achieve great things is a clear idea of where you want to be and the good and pure thoughts needed。 It is very difficult to accomplish a task without knowing why we are doing that specific thing and having good thoughts toward that task。Once we realize our vision， we can work toward that vision， but not without trial， failure and struggles。 Some people don’t realize that good fortune comes from good thoughts， and that successful people are not merely “lucky”。Having calm and peaceful thoughts leads to a calm and peaceful life and helps us to take charge of our minds and bodies。 A person who has stressed thoughts cannot take control of his life and can’t calm the storm inside of him。 The person who has serenity in his mind can bear heavy loads and take better control of his life。 The thoughts of a man truly do affect his physical and spiritual state。 A man truly is what he thinks， and so is the sum of his character and the results he achieves in his life。 The contents of the mind truly are associated with the results of the body。 。。。more

Great book

Luke Tielemans ，

Great More philosophical book， but makes you think。 Your mind is a powerful thing。 If you can control your thoughts， you can control your life。 Not a long book， but takes sometime to digest what you are reading。 But it makes you really think where your mind is at。 I found a lot of gems。

The general idea of the book is undoubtedly useful and significant。 However， I felt that all of the major points could have been presented using far fewer pages。

That was one of the most powerful and well written books I’ve ever read。 Or rather listened to。 Shoutout to dreamscape for a wonderful production， less than an hour， great pacing， great emphasis and intonation， and captivating narration。 Sounds like the narration I used for The Prince by Machiavelli and Common Sense by Paine。 If I had the text， I might have abandoned the highlight toggle because 90% of the book would be highlighted。 Every paragraph was rife with resplendent quotes of perfectly w That was one of the most powerful and well written books I’ve ever read。 Or rather listened to。 Shoutout to dreamscape for a wonderful production， less than an hour， great pacing， great emphasis and intonation， and captivating narration。 Sounds like the narration I used for The Prince by Machiavelli and Common Sense by Paine。 If I had the text， I might have abandoned the highlight toggle because 90% of the book would be highlighted。 Every paragraph was rife with resplendent quotes of perfectly worded and economic prowess that resounded so clear and crisp， you wanted to experience it again。 This book was wonderful。 Very inspiring， and I expect great things after absorbing its lessons。 We’ve all heard the mind determines success， but way to bring it to life and formulate this lesson into patent poetry。 There was no founding basis of study or any concrete evidence， but as the author explained， one simply need cast an analytical look at the intrinsic self and see that everything is a product of our mind and the way we think。 I see some people perhaps taking this in a supernatural automatic cause and effect type of relationship， perhaps zealots of the fanatic side of the law of attraction， though I don’t even think that was the author’s intent， as especially evidenced when the author insinuated that the mindset will lead to focused effort and action which will turn into circumstance; the opposite of just think and will become。 I do think the author would agree though， as I myself do， that while it isn’t *that* simple， the spiritual chakras will definitely align to assist in the mindset’s endeavor。 As man thinketh so it shall be。 I don’t know if that was the exact original quote， but it succinctly gets the message across， and is a perfect summary of the entire text。 One of the best of the year so far。5 stars。 。。。more

Lots of great tidbits and quotes but felt like this was not a book to read for fun but needs to be studied。 There were some great advice but also some things I didn’t agree with like bad thoughts leads to unhealthy/disease of the body but I did like other things about having good thoughts and how often outcomes are because of our efforts and drive。 Not exactly what I was in the mood to read but a book I should study and take notes on， even study with a group。

The book is good for entrepreneurs -- you don't change the world with cynicism， you need an ample blind optimism and a lose touch with reality， this book offers both。This book is a good example of problems with Individualism -- completely ignores the role of community， culture， circumstances & privilege placing the entire burden of situation on the Individual。The author truly believes in biblical justice， be "good"， think "good"， do "good" and "good" things will happen to you。 Oh， the tween wish The book is good for entrepreneurs -- you don't change the world with cynicism， you need an ample blind optimism and a lose touch with reality， this book offers both。This book is a good example of problems with Individualism -- completely ignores the role of community， culture， circumstances & privilege placing the entire burden of situation on the Individual。The author truly believes in biblical justice， be "good"， think "good"， do "good" and "good" things will happen to you。 Oh， the tween wishful thinking！At last， the message of the book is true is some sense， your perception shapes the world around you -- but It gives no context on how one can go about shaping their perception。 。。。more

ThoughtsThis book discuss briefly the idea that thoughts are a moving force and a person should choose them wisely。 Thoughts are like a garden or a pot you can put trash food to cook a trash meal or a quality food to cook quality food
