Book Review of "As a Man Thinketh"

Alright. I'm sure you've heard of this book. It's a favorite among self-help gurus and the like. It gets mentioned a lot all over the place. There's a good reason for that: It's a darn good book.

Basically, James Allen talks about how if you allow your mind to wander into the path of least resistance, and think about bad things, eventually bad things will manifest themselves in your life. Likewise, if you push yourself to think good things, eventually good things will happen to you.

That's a little simplistic, but you get the point. Really, he explains that when you think about something, even a little at a time, you begin to attract that circumstance to you. Moreover, circumstances (the way he speaks about them) don't just "happen" to you; he says once you cultivate a thought, you eventually act on it, and that effects your outward circumstances.

Perhaps that just makes sense when I put it that way. But the true joy in this book is Allen's writing style. Every word just fits together as if it were meant to be written that way since before the foundation of the world. All 70 pages should be chiseled in marble on a monument.

A crazy thing about James Allen (that 99% of Allen-lovers don't seem to know) is that he wrote something like 21 other books!! I've read excerpts of some, but have never purchased any. Tant pis.

I highly recommend it.
