As a Man Thinketh

As a Man Thinketh is one of the best known self-help books written by British philosophical writer James Allen. A short work that deals with the concept that harnessing the power of thoughts can help you be successful and content in your life.

It was first published in 1903 and the title comes from a verse in the Book of Proverbs – ‘As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he’. Allen had written previous books, but it was this one that he is most remembered for, and the one that brought him fame as an inspirational writer.
