As a Man Thinketh is a self-help book by James Allen, published in 1903. James insists upon the power of the individual to form his own character and to create his own happiness. This work shows how, in his own thought-world, each man holds the key to every condition, good or bad, that enters into his life, and that, by working patiently and intelligently upon his thoughts, he may remake his life, and transform his circumstances. It was also described by Allen as a book that will help you to help yourself, a pocket companion for thoughtful people, and a book on the power and right application of thought. James Allen (28 November 1864 - 24 January 1912) was a British philosophical writer known for his inspirational books and poetry and as a pioneer of the self-help movement.

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.
