Beautiful – a reminder of just how powerful our thoughts are. By shifting our outlook, we can transform our lives.
The second book, Out from the Heart, was a surprisingly valuable bonus. It’s highly practical and provides a nice balance to the more poetic nature of As a Man Thinketh.
I read both books in one afternoon!
by R.A.
The book provides a concise and powerful view on the power of thoughts and how they shape our lives.
The ideas presented here are timeless and relevant even today, over a century after it was first published!
As a Man Thinketh is a must-read for anyone interested in personal development and self-improvement. The book offers practical advice and guidance on how to cultivate a positive mindset and achieve success in all areas of life. It is a quick and easy read, but its lessons are profound and long-lasting.
The second book, Out from the Heart, was a lovely bonus as well! Thoroughly enjoyed both books.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The central treatise that we ultimately become what we think is a powerful perspective.

Ever wondered about cause and effect? Ever pondered upon that gnawing problem in your life that you feel sure you have the power to resolve, you just can’t quite get a hold of it? Problems losing your temper, feeling low self-esteem? Do you feel positive, but are not being able to convert those thoughts into action? Read this book!
At 60 odd small pages of large print this can probably be read in an hour. But do not let quantity be confused with quality – for this book could be read and re-read thousands of times in a life without decrease in profit to the reader.
Quite simply, Mr Allen explains how our thoughts shape us. Us as characters, us as personalities. Us as our personal appearance, us as our neatness and tidiness, or lack thereof. Us as our temper and anger, or us as serene and self-possessed. Us as thinkers and poets, or us as degenerates and slobs. We are what we think!
This book does not transform you in and of itself. What it does do is provide an eloquent and inspiring reminder to yourself – you are who you want to be. No excuses, no pretending, no whining. Allen lays down a challenge; experiment with the prinicples of clean, virtuous, wholesome, uplifting, kind, polite and generous thought, and see what happens in your life. Conversely, if you wish to be honest with yourself; ask and experiment at what results have only ever come through selfishness, laziness, slobbery, vanity, perversion, and the grovelling thoughts and feelings associated therewith.
Upon the discovery that, as Mr Allen states, the law of thought is governed by the law of the harvest, i.e., you reap what you sow, it will become evident to any reader that the task in front of them is to first get rid of the dry, dusty, barren land of their mind, laying fresh, fertile new soil in its stead. Then, to plant the most nutritious and delicious seeds of thought, goals and high and glorious desires. Next, to cultivate and tend the same with care, and then, in the fulness of season, to reap with joy the abundant rewards and fruitage of such labours.

A book written ahead of its time alongside beautiful poetic descriptions with a impact of truth for transformation. Biblically acknowledging the invisible has a direct effect on the visible.

I like this book I refunded it only because mistakenly ordered it twice
by Michael Versi
This is a transformative book. The concept that thoughts are central to action, and action leads to real life consequences is a powerful perspective. Change your thoughts, change your actions, change the consequences, it’s beautifully simple yet completely new.
A fantastic, easy read with a great background. Would heartely recommend to anyone, especially those that in a rut!
