AS A MAN THINKETH by JAMES ALLEN
Review
"This short book is in two parts. The first part provides an essay on the power of thinking to overcome one's own selfishness.
The second part provides thirty-one days of morning and evening meditations. Ryan Holiday mentioned this book a few times, so I purchased a copy. I particularly like the Dover "Empower Your Life" Series which includes a number of interesting books in unabridged formats.
Allen's work has inspired me to revisit a few books I read in the early 1990s and early 2000s. The key message is that "Sweet is the rest and deep the bliss of him who has freed his heart from its lusts and hatreds and dark desires".
Without referring directly to it, Allen indicates that the internal locus of control, one of the central lessons I try to teach in my leadership classes, is the key.
I intend to try these meditations over the next month, because I think Allen is right."

"This book is definitely in my top 5 favorites. Amazing spirit of a man who lost everything yet had one of the most beautiful minds of all time.
You cannot help but be captivated by the author's thought process. Each child should read this book!  "

"Been many years since I read this book but for the longest time I used it as a meditative tool to help me understand my life.
In retrospect I think I was trying to find a way to live my life back then without the use of drugs, which I was finding impossible to do, at least by my own failed measures.
​The book never "cured" me, but it made me think. Today I am drug-free, basically happy, or not, wiser and older of age, but as a serious writer attempting to make history wishing always for the disease and not the cure. "
