Convicting, especially in its portions that discuss animal indulgence, men’s lower inclinations, and the contrasting tendencies of a life lived “like a man,” “looking ever towards his ideal.”

At the halfway point reading biographies and people’s opinions on James Allen. Very contradictory. I have loved this book so far, and others describe it as cafeteria Christianity, or Buddhist, or “too Christian to be any good.” He is seen as outdated by some, and his books are praised as great “self-help” works by others. He’s associated with the “New Thought” movement, but I think he would hate it.
