As a Man Thinketh - The Original 1902 Classic (includes The Mastery of Destiny) (Reader's Library Classics)

This is deeply insightful and a good short read. I highly recommend taking your time and just reading the same page a couple of time to let the words sink in

Well written and overall excellent piece of work lets you know that you need to stop meditating on things that hold no value

Took me a few pages to get into it, but absolutely loved this book and it really hit home for me. I’m able to use its learnings everyday.

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.

Outstanding!

A short, practical wisdom book for people of any age.Read it on the plane, or take it on vacation.A personal growth book of wisdom.

Great classic read

Good book
