About the author

The James Allen Free Library

Allen was 15 when his father, a businessman, was robbed and murdered. He left school to work full-time in several British manufacturing firms to help support the family. He later married Lily L. Allen and became an executive secretary for a large company. At age 38, inspired by the writings of Leo Tolstoy, he retired from employment. Allen — along with his wife and their daughter, Nohra — moved to a small cottage in Ilfracombe, Devon, England to pursue a simple life of contemplation. There he wrote for nine years, producing 19 works. He also edited and published a magazine, "The Light of Reason".

Allen's books illustrate the use of the power of thought to increase personal capabilities. Although he never achieved great fame or wealth, his works continue to influence people around the world, including the New Thought movement.

Allen's most famous book, As a Man Thinketh, was published in 1902. It is now considered a classic self-help book. Its underlying premise is that noble thoughts make a noble person, while lowly thoughts make a miserable person.

Following his death in 1912, his wife continued publishing the magazine under the name, "The Epoch".

Reviews

[Scott Mabry · Rating 4 out of 5]

Enjoyed the spiritual journey and depth of vision. Can become a little repetitive and wordy after a while. I wasn't really able to finish the whole book but it's one I will return to from time to time. Definitely created thoughts and impressions that I pondered on for quite a while. Challenged me to view life differently and see God in new ways. He has some views that will definitely push your boundaries but I think that can be a good thing. Good value and worth a read.

Great Book

I love as a man thinketh, I think it's a brilliant work and I do look forward to reading his other works and I'm sure I won't be disappointed, it was 49p for the whole collection of works as a ebook and I'm sure that is certainly a very generous bargain

I'm speechless.

Stumbled upon this hidden gem. I felt like he was speaking directly to me. This book touched my heart and spoke to.my soul.

The value of thinking good and doing good.

There is no way to simplify the message. It is the message of Jesus. We find it hard to do good and right and to be holy, but it is found in dying to self. But more than that it is thinking good and doing good.
I have read this many times now and am still working on it. The message is the desire of my heart and yet to grow into it and change my thinking is still a process.
This book has value far above many others. The Bible is still the most valuable, but this seems to assist in living it out.
