James Allen was born in Leicester, England in 1864. After leaving
school at the age of fifteen to support his family, Allen worked,
read, and carefully observed the world around him. It was not until
he was thirty-eight that he wrote From Poverty to Power, one of the
first motivational books. His next book, As a Man Thinketh,
established his reputation as an inspirational writer. Other books
on spirituality included The Eight Pillars of Wisdom and From
Passion to Peace. Although his writing career lasted for only ten
years, until his death in 1912, Allen produced twenty titles that
influenced millions in the same manners as the words of Dale
Carnegie and Norman Vincent Peale.
