Thinking for Results

by Christian D. Larson

This book was among the first ones ever written by Larson, and contains a very nice summary of his philosophy on the power of thought, and the importance of keeping always good thoughts, as the way to have a happy, fulfilling life, full of “results”.
“Man is as he thinks he is, and what he does is the result of the sum total of his thought” says the author. “The average person, however, thinks at random and therefore lives at random and does not know from day to day whether good or evil lies in his path. What he finds in his path is invariably the result of his own thinking, but as he does not know what results different kinds of thought produce he creates both good and evil daily not knowing that he necessarily does either of these. When he knows what each mental state will produce, however, and has gained the power to think as he likes under all sorts of circumstances, then he will have fate, destiny, environment, physical conditions, mental conditions, attainments, achievements and in fact everything in his own hands.”
This book is about teaching the reader, precisely that: what each mental state will produce, and how to control them.

One of the most intriguing book I have ever read. FYI, book was written in the early 1900s. Still timeless and an ultimate classic.

This little book, written in the early 1900's, is a timeless self help book. The premise is basically a step by step process in how to think to get to the end result you're looking for. Sort of the Steven Covey way of beginning with the end in mind. Some of the language is antiquated. Overall I would recommend this book.
