Publisher Description

Disease and health, like circumstances, are rooted in thought. Sickly thoughts will express themselves through a sickly body. Thoughts of fear have been known to kill a man as speedily as a bullet, and they are continually killing thousands of people just as surely, though less rapidly. The people who live in fear of disease are the people who get it. Anxiety quickly demoralizes the whole body and lays it open to the entrance of disease, while impure thoughts, even if not physically indulged, will sooner shatter the nervous system.

""As a Man Thinketh" was a very interesting philosophical book. I have to say that I don't completely agree with the author at some points, but interesting thoughts are expressed by James Allen. The book explains that our minds are in charge of our realities, and that what we imagine is what we perceive - making it real. This book is great to read if you're in the mood to think deeply about life and our existence, but it doesn't stop there. It goes over how humans accomplish tasks, change as a person, and the importance of dreams/visions of the future."

  • Overall Performance: 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5

    " I thought the book was a little repetitive but overall, I liked it. I think we underestimate the power of our minds/thoughts to influence us for good or bad. However, I felt like he didn't account for God and the fact that there are things that happen to us that are out of our control. We have the power to control how we react to these situations in life, but sometimes no matter how positively I think about something or how hard I work to make something happen, if it's not the will of God, it's not going to happen.

    " Before I read this book, I had never supposed that I could change my circumstances by changing the way that I looked at things. Perhaps an elementary concept, but this is the book that taught it to me. I carry it with me everywhere I go, as it's only a little paper bound 32 page pamphlet, and I read it when I need inspiration. I nearly have it memorized, I think. "
