The Vision that you glorify in your mind, the Ideal that you enthrone in your heart—this you will build your life by, this you will become.
The Original 1902 Classic
Even more important in modern times with a myriad of forces distracting us from achieving a fulfilled life, As a Man Thinketh reveals the hidden powers and possibilities within yourself by expounding on the importance of thought. Your own thoughts shape your character, circumstance, and destiny, and the control of your own thoughts liberates us from undesirable experiences. In our never-ending pilgrimage to a deeper understanding of life, there is no better prescription than the mastery over the mind.
An inspiration to millions, Allen’s work has been celebrated for its ease of understanding yet profound in its wisdom. Presented here complete in the original text is Allen’s classic self-help treatises As a Man Thinketh (1902) and The Mastery of Destiny (1909).

Epitome of “thoughts become habits, habits become character”
If youâve ever heard the saying “thoughts become habits, habits become character” then you know what this book is about. Everyone can be a better version of themselves. It just comes down to being in the habit of having a well controlled thought process. The book says itâs suggestive but i think it also explains the thought reality relationship pretty clearly. Dispute itâa name (which I like!) itâs a good book for men or women =]. Would recommend 10/10!

A product of its time, thought provoking with aspects that haven’t held true
As a 120 year old writing, this short read should be taken based on the era it is from. There’s some great wisdom in purifying thought to improve circumstances. Some very distilled sage advise, but given in a very “all or nothing”, “holier-than-thou” way that can be challenging to agree with at times.I don’t agree that kids bombed in war zones are at fault, or deserved their lot in life, because of poor thoughts. Which the author seems to suggest. I do agree that we are responsible for improving our own circumstances by our good actions and thought. James Allen does have good guidance on how to achieve that.Personal believe is that we are not our thoughts alone. A stronger man (or person) recognizes they are not entangled in their lesser thoughts but focuses on those that are positive and strives to live in them. I don’t believe that any of us are able to live with completely pure thought, but that the act of trying makes us better.All in all, a worthwhile read, even if some parts came across very ‘judgy’ – which, again, a book of its era.

Great Book
I like the original version of the âAs a Man Thinketh.â This version is a plan language for the lay people. Itâs a great read.

Legendary –
Great read, I bought his box set soon afterwards. Lots of good points and very Hermetic and esoteric when you break it down. Highly recommended

I bought this book on a friendâs recommendation. The ideas and insights are definitely worthwhile, but the older writing style made it more challenging to read than I expected. That said, Iâd still recommend it for the content alone
