Here is the classic James Allen work that has inspired millions around the world to change their lives for the better. For nearly a hundred years, Allen's words of positive thinking have provided the foundation for many of today's motivational leaders, including Norman Vincent Peale, Dale Carnegie, and Billy Graham. In this concise work, Allen offers a simple yet elegant message about the innate power of control we all possess. As a Man Thinketh provides the means to gain confidence in ourselves, to take charge of the way we perceive things, and to reshape who we are to meet and conquer life's inevitable challenges. James Allen was born in Leicester, England in 1864. After leaving school at the age of fifteen to support his family, Allen worked, read, and carefully observed the world around him. It was not until he was thirty-eight that he wrote From Poverty to Power, one of the first motivational books. His next book, As a Man Thinketh, established his reputation as an inspirational writer. Other books on spirituality included The Eight Pillars of Wisdom and From Passion to Peace. Although his writing career lasted for only ten years, until his death in 1912, Allen produced twenty titles that influenced millions in the same manners as the words of Dale Carnegie and Norman Vincent Peale.

The Bible says "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." For example, an avaricious man may appear generous, but he is avaricious, regardless of appearances. In short, men do not change.
On the other hand, Allen tells us positve thinking changes us for the better. If we think about worthwhile things, have worthwhile goals, we will become better men.
Same sentence, different emphasis.
As A Man Thinketh is an earlier version of The Power of Positive Thinking and the more recent best seller, The Secret.
