This brief but revered self-help classic was written by a 19th-century Englishman who is partly responsible for the creation of the entire personal development industry.
Allen borrowed the title from the Biblical verse, “As a man thinketh, in his heart, so is he.” In a clear and accessible argument, Allen builds on the idea that one’s thoughts shape one’s character, and also one’s circumstances, environment, and destiny. Allen’s practical philosophy stresses responsibility: “Man is made or unmade by himself.” But he also clearly values those who are dreamers, and he sees the ultimate goal of his spiritual practice to be serenity.
Most contemporary Personal Development 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, in his best-selling recording, called the ideas in this book, “The Strangest Secret”. The secret, he said, is “we become what we think about”.
“All that we achieve and all that we fail to achieve is the direct result of our own thoughts.”
“As a Man Thinketh” is a classic in the truest sense: few books have been so widely read, have stood the test of time so well, have had such an impact on generations of readers, and have carried such a simple, profound message: You are what you think.
