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."
— Riki (4 out of 5 stars)
" This is a small, short read - and highly worth it. I've had a copy since I graduated from high school. "
— Tammy, 2/19/2014" Motivational reading that doesn't give one any room for excuses for not excelling in life. Our thoughts are the foundation on which our lives are built. "
— Edwina, 2/18/2014" This small book is loaded with ages of wisdom. It's succinct way of conveying the human thought process has enhanced my understanding and can change anyone's life. "
— Dorcas, 2/14/2014" Sublime insights into the inner workings of the "inner man". "
— Ben, 2/14/2014" This book is pretty all right. I think I might need to read it at least one or two more times to fully grasp it. I just did a quick read of it today, and I am pretty sure a lot of it escaped my attention. I might yet change my rating, but for now, I'm staying with 3/5 stars. "
— Beate, 2/13/2014" So much knowledge and so much to learn, addressed elegantly too! "
— Heather, 2/13/2014" As I thinketh, so shall I be. "
— Kassandra, 2/12/2014" Great read. It's a really short book (only about 63 pages) and provides a nice perspective about the power of thought. "
— Jacob, 2/10/2014" Great book that helps remind how much your thoughts have power over you for good or bad. "
— Renaun, 2/9/2014" This book changed my life....everyone should read it. It's only 50 pages, so you can read the whole thing in an evening. "
— Carly, 2/6/2014" When I need to think positive I re-read this book. I found it inspirational and self motivating. "
— Brandie, 2/5/2014" Wow... profound. yet Simple. One I will reread often. "
— Zedic, 2/4/2014" This book is life changing. (I know I say that about a lot of books, but really it is a true classic.) This book is filled with treasures. One of my favorite quotes is "The vision that you glorify in your mind, the ideal that you enthrone in your heart---this you will build your life by, this you will become." "
— Marci, 2/3/2014" Great book on living a fulfilling life. Give one to your college graduate. "
— Christopher, 1/31/2014" This tiny treasure of wisdom rests next to my bed, and always brightens my spirit. "
— Sarah, 1/31/2014" This book is very good. Very insightful, not overbearing at all... the author feels very congruent with truth and expresses well what he has come to know through meditation and thought. I just found myself nodding in agreement to many things he said... things I had already known but couldn't put into words. "
— Stephanie, 1/30/2014" 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. "
— Kamae, 1/28/2014" Short, sweet and to the point. Good insight into being a good person. "
— Maura, 1/27/2014" 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. "
— Cory, 1/27/2014" Wisdom literature to end all wisdom literature. Infinitely re-readable. "
— Loren, 1/27/2014" Great things to put into your brain frequently. Short and sweet and a lot of stuff you usually take for granted. "
— Tina, 1/27/2014" As A Man Thinketh... This book changed my life! A simple, powerfull read full of insite, wisdom and inspiration. A definate classic in my mind! "
— Justus, 1/27/2014" Fantastic - You must read this book if you want to understand how and why things happen in your life. "
— Katie, 1/26/2014" a lot of groundbreaking thought. "
— RK, 1/25/2014" This is a very short, powerful book about the power of our thoughts in shaping our destinies. He takes the title of his book from Proverbs, "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he" and this book is filled with wisdom and insight. I always go away inspired after reading this book! "
— Jasmyn, 1/25/2014" Love the responsibility to accountability to self! "
— Mara, 1/25/2014" I kept seeing this book pop up in various places. After a while when that happens I start to think the book is trying to reach me. So I bought it on my Kindle. Short read, with some terrific insights. I really enjoyed this one and will be re-reading it several times. "
— Travis, 1/24/2014" This is far and away the best book on the law of attraction/law of the harvest that I have come across. It clearly delineates cause and effect and personal responsibility. It focuses on the person you are becoming by your thoughts, not the tangibles you are acquiring. I therefore found it most wholesome, and useful to all. "
— Kimbra, 1/24/2014" Exquisite thoughts on thoughts and their power. Let's take responsibility for what we think. "
— Jenni, 1/23/2014" great book but very dense.... I need to get my own copy and read it many more times to digest it "

— Melanee, 1/19/2014" As I thinketh, so shall I be. "
— Kassandra, 1/18/2014" Motivational reading that doesn't give one any room for excuses for not excelling in life. Our thoughts are the foundation on which our lives are built. "
— Edwina, 1/18/2014" After all these years, I still believe we make our own happiness. "
— Sally, 1/16/2014" This is a little known classic! It is very short but very incredible! It has so many great nuggets of wisdom and thought that I feel everyone should read it at least once. I found this quite life-changing. "
— Mackenzie, 1/15/2014" Extremely short, simple, inspirational MUST-READ. "
— BookTheReader, 1/14/2014" This small book is loaded with ages of wisdom. It's succinct way of conveying the human thought process has enhanced my understanding and can change anyone's life. "
— Dorcas, 1/13/2014" Really enjoyed what James Allen had to say about thinking your dreams into reality. "
— Zulma, 1/10/2014" My favorite book. James Allen's mind is a fine one and he gives us nicely rounded sayings, advice, and wisdom. The book can be read in an hour, but will stay with you for a much longer period. It's a book to take with you in life and thumb through just when the feeling has you. A fine book to have on the shelves. "
— Levi, 1/10/2014" This is the best book ever! The insights that are found here are so helpful and useful. "
— Michael, 1/10/2014" I loved this book. It's something that I think every person should read, and then revisit again and again. Our mind and the way we think truly do dictate the outcome of our lives. I've implemented much of what the book advised and see a difference for the better. "
— Chantel, 1/8/2014" Inspiring. Kind of changed my life. "
— Preston, 1/5/2014" What a deep thinking book. Want to read it again because it has been too long to remember all of the concepts. What I do remember is the author's statement that we all choose? or create? our situations even the ones we feel are out of our control........Hmmmm "
— Jorgina, 1/4/2014" A man is literally what he thinks, his character being the complete sum of all his thoughts. "
— Malou, 1/3/2014" A short, somewhat biblical, but interesting book. "
— Charles, 1/3/2014" This book is awesome! I read it, then re-read it, then hi-lighted it with notes in the margins then made quote notes that I posted all over the house. A great self help book for those who are striving to be better people. "
— Darla, 1/1/2014" This book will change you. A most enlightening hour-and-a-half. Read it. "
— Derek, 12/30/2013" I highly recommend this book. He is brilliant. "
— Melanee, 12/29/2013" Some feel this "book-ette" flies in the face of spiritual teachings, but I don't. To me, there is little more inspirational than the notion that we create our own realities. "
— Candace, 12/29/2013" this book is a life changing experience. "
— Nancy, 12/28/2013" Quick read. Makes you change your thinking :) "

— Carol, 12/22/2013" One lesson that is book teaches is that thoughts have actions. "
— Andrew, 12/19/2013" After I read this, It made such an impression on me. I still have the book. Allen wrote, "All the man achieves or fails to achieve is the direct result of his thoughts". The entire book made me realize that my thinking would make or break me. "
— Paul, 12/18/2013" Good book, mostly Bible backed. A little too much think it and it will happen crap, but book was highly recommended so I'll probably give it a second listen sometime. "
— J., 12/17/2013" I read this book in a day. A quick read that reinforces the power of thought. We create our lives by our thoughts. This book inspired "The Secret", so I wanted to read it and I am glad I did. "
— Lisa, 12/15/2013" What a deep thinking book. Want to read it again because it has been too long to remember all of the concepts. What I do remember is the author's statement that we all choose? or create? our situations even the ones we feel are out of our control........Hmmmm "
— Jorgina, 12/14/2013" A great deal to think about! Much is still very relevant to today. "
— Lynna, 12/10/2013" Good stuff. Makes you think. Then a lightbulb goes on and you realize you knew this stuff all along, just didn't use that information to your advantage. "
— Hina, 12/8/2013" a lot of groundbreaking thought. "
— RK, 12/7/2013" This is a favorite book from my college days. "
— Paulette, 12/5/2013" Recommended read at the infamous UPW 2008..published in 1902 quite simply the basis of how the Laws of Attraction work and affect us. A man's character is the sum of all his thoughts therefore..THINK GOOD AND THINK POSITIVE!! "
— Sandy, 11/29/2013" This is a book that you can read in an afternoon, but must read multiple times to understand its significance and apply its principles. "
— Deozaan, 11/29/2013" Exceptional book. I have listened to it recently probably 8 times recently walking the dog. Need to find a written edition preferably in a used book store. It is a must read. Very logical approach to our role in who we are and a refutation of sloughing responsibility for our base actions to others. "
— Sam, 11/28/2013" I alway come back to this book. "
— Alek, 11/28/2013" So simple. I finished it in less than 30 minutes and loved it. "
— Anmol, 11/28/2013" I like most of it, but there were a few things that I disagreed with. For one thing, on page 29,it says that "the people who live in fear of disease are the people who get it." It also has a lot of type-o's. "
— Hannah, 11/28/2013" I always keep a copy of this book handy. It's not long--but it sure is life-changing. The kind of book I'll make all my kids read... "

— Lisa, 10/26/2013" So straightforwardly on point and precise, not a word wasted. The tile should not sound so exclusionary as it is appropriate for the ladies as well. I can not properly verbalize the level of affection I have for this book, as I will read it many times over. "
— Glenn, 10/26/2013" I kept seeing this book pop up in various places. After a while when that happens I start to think the book is trying to reach me. So I bought it on my Kindle. Short read, with some terrific insights. I really enjoyed this one and will be re-reading it several times. "

— Ron, 11/14/2012" This book is suppose to a "classic" but I did not find it inspiring. "
— Pam, 10/13/2012" Good to read as its the emergence of what is now called the Law of Attraction. Written in the English of the turn of that century so I find it to be richer in meaning and something you need to read slower and think about, which I guess is half the point. "
— Rick, 10/6/2012" short and sweet. well worth the time to read it. "
— Rhett, 9/30/2012" This book gives me a lot to ponder...I can only read it in small bites! I love books that make me stop and think! "

— Alicia, 10/27/2011" A short book, which is basically about positive thinking and directing one's life by thought. "
— Sally, 10/25/2011" Inspired thoughts from an inspired man. With all the inane self-help books out there, this classic will endure as one with simple yet profound principles. Think good thoughts, become a good person. If more of us could learn to master our thoughts and emotions, our world would be transformed. "
