As A Man Thinketh Book


Power Books recently opened at SM Northwing in Cebu.

I was surprised that one of the books sold there is "As A Man Thinketh." As A Man Thinketh or The Power Of Thought was written by James Allen in 1904. That's a long long time ago.

Mr. Allen was born in Leicester (central England) in 1864 and died in 1912. Although his writing career was short, he wrote 19 books.

His second book, As A Man Thinketh, is a classic and deservedly so.
The book is partly responsible for the creation of the entire personal development industry. Most contemporary PD authors and teachers credit this little book for providing foundation to their principles. It is a set of philosophical musings on the power of our thoughts. Earl Nightingale, widely regarded as the father of modern day personal development, called the ideas in this book, "The Strangest Secret". The secret, he said, is "we become what we think about.

The aphorism, "As a man thinketh in his heart so is he," not only embraces the whole of a man's being, but is so comprehensive as to reach out to every condition and circumstance of his life.

A man is literally what he thinks, his character being the complete sum of all his thoughts.

As the plant springs from, and could not be without, the seed, so every act of a man springs from the hidden seeds of thought, and could not have appeared without them. This applies equally to those acts called "spontaneous" and "unpremeditated" as to those which are deliberately executed. Act is the blossom of thought, and joy and suffering are its fruits.
