As a Man Thinketh (Annotated & Illustrated)

As a Man Thinketh is James Allen's signature book, written in 1902 and published in 1903. It offers a powerful message reminding readers that we are ultimately responsible for our own life creations. The author compares the human mind to fertile soil and thoughts to the seeds we plant in it. In Allen's words: "A man's mind may be likened to a garden, which may be intelligently cultivated or allowed to run wild; but whether cultivated or neglected, it must and will, bring forth." This analogy reflects that there is a universal law operating in the universe, the law of cause and effect, which highlights that our reality is a reflection of our beliefs; whether conscious or unconscious. To live this life with a divine purpose, one must embody universal principles to become one with the Absolute.
