As a Man Thinketh for Today's Readers James Allen's classic rephrased in contemporary language Widely considered the greatest self-help book of all-time, As a Man Thinketh reveals how our thoughts shape our character and influence our circumstances, health, and achievements. The choice is yours: either master your mind to create the life you want, or remain mired in frustration and failure. While James Allen's writing was exceptionally clear for its time, As a Man Thinketh —like any 100-year-old book—uses archaic language that can be difficult to grasp. In this 21st Century Edition, bestselling author Sam Torode entirely rephrases Allen's ideas in contemporary English, making his wisdom available to today's readers. It's also gender-neutral (except for retaining the original title), because this is a book for all humans. This book is now also available in comic book format from PhilosoComics!
