5.0 out of 5 stars
Simple, succint, and inspiring.,
This review is from: As You Think: Second Edition (Paperback)
This book is an easy read, yet powerful in its message and teaching. Firstly, the font is 14 pt with one-and-a-half line spacing and about 90 pages. I sat down one evening and read it in about 3 hours or so. It was one of the best evenings I've spent. Secondly, the content is inspiring. I think all of us intuitively know that the attitudes and mindset we adopt influence how our day - and our lives - unfold. If we approach our days with optimism, then our days will unfold in a positive way; if we approach our days with pessimism, our days unfold negatively. This book captures that message and more. James Allen logically describes how our thoughts affect every aspect of our lives, from our character to our circumstances. Best of all, after shipping and taxes, this book was about the price of a good martini. The knowledge gained, however, is worth so much more.

Politically Correct Version,
By Ron Atkins "Ron" (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: As You Think: Second Edition (Paperback)
In this edition of "As a Man Thinketh," Marc Allen (no relation to author James Allen), neuters the male overtones by replacing all references to "man" (which I always interpreted as "humanity," not a male or female) with the more sensitive third person and he/she variations. Somehow the statement "as a man thinketh, so is he," does not translate well to "as a person thinketh, so is she or he."Marc Allen points out that in the Buddhist tradition, a book opens with a poem. If the reader can understand the poem, he or she has grasped the meaning of the book, and need not read the entire book. Here is James Allen's opening poem: Mind is the master power that molds and makes, Thoreau said something similar in a shorter version where he alludes to how the mind of man can create a heaven or hell for itself.

This review is from: As You Think (Audio Cassette)
This is the most awesome cassette. I had read the book. But this audio cassette is wonderful to listen to in the car during your commute, or in the house while cleaning etc. I listened to it every day for over a month and my life was transformed. I continue to listen to it from time time to keep me on the right track. Mr Allens voice is also soothing and powerful. The writing is poignant and beautiful. Enjoy. Your life can only get better and better.
