Notes From Your Bookseller

The quest for satisfaction in life is often an arduous one, and this book is here to remind readers that the individual is in charge of their own lot. This is a guide on how to take control of that charge.

A*pioneer of the self-help movement, author James Allen's most famous title is*As a Man Thinketh. This book offers the keys to personal responsibility and freedom. When you understand that what you think influences what you become, you can learn to adjust your thought life accordingly.

In Allen's classic work, he writes a fascinating exploration of the connection between mind, body, and action. Using the metaphor of a garden, Allen teaches the reader how to weed out the negativity and plant useful, positive thoughts in the mind instead.

Among the powerful lessons found in this book:

• The effects of thoughts on the body and health
• How thoughts influence purpose
• How thoughts influence achievement
• Calmness of mind influences growth and success

You will become as small as your controlling desire, or as great as your dominant aspiration.

Editorial Reviews

AUG/SEP 07 - AudioFile

With the success of THE SECRET, some of the older "positive thinking" gurus are being dusted off and reissued. Allen wrote on the vanguard of the movement, which was facilitated by the marginalization of Protestantism's doctrine of original sin by some Christian leaders in the 1950s. Charley Steiner's brusque, deep voice seems hurried, perhaps due to time restrictions concerning the capture of the entire book on a single CD. He is unconvincing as he delivers the name-it-and-claim-it platitudes that will be repetitive to those who are familiar with them and cloying to those who are not. He has a tendency to fire the bromides rapidly, barely allowing the each one to make its impression before restating it. S.M.M. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine
