As You Think : The Bestselling Self-Empowerment Classic

“As You Think is the single most powerful book I have ever read. It has been my companion for twenty years, and it has changed my life.”

– from the Introduction by Marc Allen, author of Visionary Business

In 1904, a relatively unknown Englishman named James Allen wrote a little book called As a Man Thinketh. The book has become one of the world’s greatest self-help books – “self-empowerment” is a better term – for it not only reveals to us that the keys to success are within our own minds, it shows us how to use these keys to unlock the greatest fulfillment we can imagine.

In this revised edition, author Marc Allen updates this classic, changing language that has become dated or obsolete, and honing the clarity of the message. He makes As You Think gender inclusive, showing how these principles are truly universal and apply to everyone, regardless of sex, age, race, beliefs, social class, or education.

As You Think is a simple yet powerful reminder that “all we achieve and all that we fail to achieve is the direct result of our own thoughts.”

We are the masters of our destinies.

About the Author
James Allen was born in Leicester, England on November 28, 1864. When he was fifteen, the family business failed and his father left for America to find work. His father was murdered before he could send for the family and subsequently, James left school and worked for several British manufacturers until 1902. His literary career lasted only nine years until his death in 1912. As A Man Thinketh was his second book. In fact, it was only upon his wife’s insistence that he published the book. He wrote nineteen books in all. As You Think is his acknowledged masterpiece.
