'As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he。' —Proverbs, chapter 23, verse 7

First published in 1903, James Allen's literary essay became an inspirational classic。 It shows how, in his own thought-world, each man holds the key to every condition, good or bad, that enters into his life, and that, by working patiently and intelligently upon his thoughts, he may remake his life, and transform his circumstances。

I loved it。 The book is about mind growth。 I was scared to read an old book because the words might be old and hard for me but, It turns out a light book easy to understand and read。

Very inspiring, better than 99% of the self help books I see nowadays。 I wished I had encountered this book when I was a young adult, as I desperately needed such a voice of guidance at that stage of my life。 I also liked the way the author used very apt and vivid imagery to illustrates his points。 I genuinely think this is a book that everyone should read, evenly if you don't completely agree with it, where you disagree would still help to consolidate your thoughts about the most important aspe Very inspiring, better than 99% of the self help books I see nowadays。 I wished I had encountered this book when I was a young adult, as I desperately needed such a voice of guidance at that stage of my life。 I also liked the way the author used very apt and vivid imagery to illustrates his points。 I genuinely think this is a book that everyone should read, evenly if you don't completely agree with it, where you disagree would still help to consolidate your thoughts about the most important aspects of your life。 。。。more

First published in 1903, ‘As a Man Thinketh’ by James Allen has been influential since its publication。 It is an extremely short & philosophical read with the message that the quality of your thoughts determine your quality of life。 If your thoughts are pure and good, your life will also be good; and vice versa。“As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he。”Throughout the book the author maintains that the human is the master of thought and shapes his/her character given the conditions, environment First published in 1903, ‘As a Man Thinketh’ by James Allen has been influential since its publication。 It is an extremely short & philosophical read with the message that the quality of your thoughts determine your quality of life。 If your thoughts are pure and good, your life will also be good; and vice versa。“As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he。”Throughout the book the author maintains that the human is the master of thought and shapes his/her character given the conditions, environment and destiny one faces。 The seed for action is a person’s thoughts。 Therefore if you manage the cause- you can control the effect。 There is a lot of lessons which can be learnt from James Allen’s book。 The author can get a bit repetitive, however it’s still an insightful read。 。。。more

Full of positive thoughts yet pragmatic。Open any page and just read any paragraph, you will find very relatable motivation in it。Its like a lecture directly given by James Allen in his class。 No advice, no deceptive references, author has just written his thoughts about how humans are the repercussions of their thoughts and not the circumstances, in fact the circumstances are also the results of thoughts we nurture persistently。Some of my favourites from the book :- The dreamers are the saviours Full of positive thoughts yet pragmatic。Open any page and just read any paragraph, you will find very relatable motivation in it。Its like a lecture directly given by James Allen in his class。 No advice, no deceptive references, author has just written his thoughts about how humans are the repercussions of their thoughts and not the circumstances, in fact the circumstances are also the results of thoughts we nurture persistently。Some of my favourites from the book :- The dreamers are the saviours of the world。- Your vision is the promise of what you shall one day be; your ideal is the prophecy of what you shall at last unveil。- To desire is to obtain; to aspire is to, achieve。Someone looking for a quick read with realistic motivation this is a perfect read!!! 。。。more

I am amazed to have read this century-old book that makes a lot of sense even today。 This book is about psychology and revolves around the concept of how our thoughts are all that matters。 Life can be so beautiful and simple if we all just start to think right and try to uphold the aid of animality, indolence, impurity, corruption and confusion of thought。 From the initiation of this universe, it was our thought that governs it all and we still, when in need of something, chase something else wh I am amazed to have read this century-old book that makes a lot of sense even today。 This book is about psychology and revolves around the concept of how our thoughts are all that matters。 Life can be so beautiful and simple if we all just start to think right and try to uphold the aid of animality, indolence, impurity, corruption and confusion of thought。 From the initiation of this universe, it was our thought that governs it all and we still, when in need of something, chase something else while thinking about something else。 It is our thought that shapes our character, circumstances, health, purpose of our lives and also our visions and achievements。 The person who thinks that feigning and pretending in front of the world, keeping and pursuing their evil ideas will not get exposed is just as ignorant as a person who thinks closing their eyes will make them disappear in the eyes of the world。Every single sentence, yes I repeat, every single sentence in this seventy pages book is enlightening。 I highly recommend this to every individual。Happy Reading! 。。。more

Well, what can I say。 This is one book all humans meaning to lead lives that mean something must read。 Short as it is, it can be expanded into a thick volume。 This book taught me to watch what I allow to take root in my mind; that I have power all the time, over what I can be, and will be。 It's just so much more。 Well, what can I say。 This is one book all humans meaning to lead lives that mean something must read。 Short as it is, it can be expanded into a thick volume。 This book taught me to watch what I allow to take root in my mind; that I have power all the time, over what I can be, and will be。 It's just so much more。 。。。more

This book helps to make us understand that we are what we think。Our life is what we think。Our thoughts have the power to make our life best or worst in short we are the master of our destiny。

Aizat Affendi

A very short read which gets readers to reflect that how their life pans out is a direct effect of what they have in their minds。 Some parts of the book were very similar / make heavy references to the values promoted by the Stoics。
