The Mastery of Destiny by James Allen

Description

The Mastery of Destiny is a book by James Allen, first published in 1909. In this concise, uncompromising work Allen sets out the practical and moral case that destiny is not a blind force imposed from outside but the direct result of a person’s habitual thought, will and conduct. Drawing on the same clear prose that made his earlier essays influential, the text develops a step-by-step programme of self-control, concentration and the training of the will — arguing that by mastering inner life a person can steadily shape outer circumstances and achieve moral and material progress. Allen writes from the New Thought/moral-philosophy tradition and addresses readers who prefer disciplined, timeless advice rather than quick fixes. The tone is austere, moral and insistently practical: passages stress responsibility, deliberate habit-formation and the cultivation of purpose, rather than luck or fatalism. For those interested in classic self-help and personal development works, this book sits naturally alongside titles dealing with positive thinking, character formation, willpower and spiritual self-mastery, and has influenced generations of readers interested in conscious living and ethical self-improvement.
