As You Think

A timeless classic from New World Library
Introduction by Marc Allen, author of Visionary Business

In 1904, a little-known Englishman named James Allen wrote a small book called As a Man Thinketh. A hundred years later, this book has become a self-empowerment classic. New World Library author and publisher Marc Allen updated this timeless gem, recasting obsolete language and polishing the author’s message to highlight the universal principles of the original. James Allen’s message has now reached a whole new generation of readers with As You Think. Great truths are simple and easy to express, and James Allen’s insights into self-empowerment are just that: Personal power lies within the mind. Once awakened, there are no limits to what one can imagine and then achieve with the power of thought. The author shares deep insights into the essential relationship of a person’s thoughts to personal character, life circumstances, physical health, life purpose, achievement, and personal serenity. A fresh, inspiring reading by Marc Allen updates this relevant and insightful self-empowerment classic.

James Allen was born in Leicester, England in 1864. Because of family difficulties following his father’s death, he had to leave school when he was fifteen. He worked for several British manufacturers until 1902, when he decided to write full-time. After he finished his first book, From Poverty to Power, he moved to Ilfracombe, on England’s southwest coast, and lived there until his death in 1912. He wrote nineteen books in all. As You Think is his acknowledged masterpiece.
