About this title: This brief but revered self-help classic was written by a 19th-century Englishman who devoted his later years to contemplation. Allen borrowed the title from the Biblical verse, "As a man thinketh, in his heart, so is he." In a clear and accessible argument, Allen builds on the idea that one's thoughts shape one's character, and also one's ...

"I read this in my homeschool mothers' book group. When I went to buy the book at Deseret Book and found it in the inspiration section, I actually didn't buy it the first time. But, then I did some more research online as to what the book is and ended up buying it and reading it twice. It is a quick read, but deep, so a second reading helped. In a sense, it is a precursor to "power of positive thinking" books, but is more than that. In the book group, we often end up talking about outstanding characters who work to have their "public self" match their private self. (Think Atticus Finch) This book touches on that. God wants you to succeed gloriously, and the power is within you. A man can be cursed and rich or he can be blessed and poor. We have our agency to decide."
"Just a quick note that I've registered this book at BookCrossing.com, so that I can keep up on where it goes, who reads it, and what they thought of it. Please visit www.BookCrossing.com/716-7329695 to make a quick journal entry, then pass the book along to someone else who will appreciate it. We can all track this book's journey and the lives it touches forever more!"
"A great book with deeply profound principles. The author uses soothing and poetic words of wisdom as he espouses his thesis that we are the makers of ourselves. The book is spiritual in nature, though not religious. I've found a great deal of inspiration with words like these: "A noble and Godlike character is not a thing of favor or chance, but is the natural result of continued effort in right thinking, the effect of long-cherished association with Godlike thoughts." To the degree that we accept this idea and others like it will be the degree to which we accept the fact that- if we think right, which is within our power, our lives are likely to be "right" as well."
"This is the book "the Secret" was written after. I always love anything about the power of thought, attitude and action. The thing that was a little bit different about this book (written by James Allen in the late 1800's) is that it has a spiritual tone to it. It's not just "if you think about things you want alot, you'll get them" like The Secret does, but it is "thoughts become attitudes, attitudes become actions, and actions are what makes things happen".
Still don't care for the Health and Body section though, I don't think people with cancer get cancer because they have negative thoughts. That's just stupid."
