Been on the lookout for a book like this for around 5 years. One that hits home about how powerful the mind can be having experienced its power firsthand. This book will uplift you and should be taught as mandatory in our children’s upbringing. Recommended to all.

Not fussed on the style of writing. Content isn't bad though. Doesn't take long to read. Could read on the train or the likes

This amazing book was written by James Allen in 1904 and with the world in its current state, this book should be essential reading for anyone wanting to live a life of abundance and create a better life for his/her family.The books hit upon important areas such as the effect of Thought on Circumstances, whereby men are anxious to improve their circumstances, but are unwilling to improve themselves; they therefore remain bound.I shall leave you with you an important paragraph taken from this small yet effective book, which may help you decide whether this book is for you or not.A strong man cannot help a weaker unless that a weaker is willing to be helped. And even then the weaker man must become strong himself. He must by his own efforts, develop the strength which he admires in another. None but himself can alter his condition.The above paragraph sums it up pretty well, if you want anything in life, good or bad, it all starts with the intention, if intentions are good, then good will surely come your way and vice versa.

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.
