As a Man Thinketh (Large Print Edition)

This is easily one of the best books that I have read. It isn't long, but it is packed with more information than you can wrap your head around. I have read it 4 times since I got it 3 months ago, and I am working on it again. I loved this book so much that when I was in the middle of the second chapter, I got back on Amazon and ordered another 2 copies of it. Then when I finished it I went to order 3 more but I couldn't because they were still sold out from the time that I ordered the other 2. So I had to wait for them to print more, then I did order 3 more, so I have 6 copies now and I don't regret it at all.It just feels like every paragraph is pure gold honestly, sometimes it took me 20 minutes to make it through one page because of the realizations that I was having, and I needed to take time to scribble my notes into the margins. There is nothing in this book that doesn't absolutely need to be there, so you can be sure that it is worth your time and you won't be reading any filler material whatsoever. This will change your perspective on life, and if you actually do the things that are here, you change yourself. I honestly saw a change in how happy I was by doing the things that James Allen said. This is basically scripture to me now.The only complaint that I have isn't about the book, it's more about me, because I wish that I was better at doing the things outlined in this book because I know that it would help me out a ton. So that is the next goal, make sure that I am doing the things here.

This is one the smallest books I've read in my life and yet most impactful and eye-opening book. This book put a lot of stress on an idea that Man is what he thinks he becomes and what he does and it's not the circumstances which make him but he makes the circumstance. If you are going through or ever been through a rough patch in your life you need to read this book. If you've ever been successful or are successful in your life you need to read this. If you are rich or ever have been rich, you need to read this book. If you are poor or was poor at one time in your life you need to read it. If you are depressed or have been depressed, you need to read this book and at-last if you are happy or were happy in your life you need to read this book. In short, no matter what the circumstance is you're going through, you need to read this book not once, not twice but at least a dozen times in your life!

This book was a complete life change for me. My entire life I have always been moody, emotionally unstable, tossed to and fro by my thoughts, bubbling with enthusiasm one moment and then sulking in a stupor the next. My last relationship was destroyed by such a mindset. Although I had ideas of what had gone wrong, this book eloquently expounded on ideas that I had vague thoughts of, but was unable to put into words. The first time I was able to put the knowledge I learned from this book into practice was a emotionally explosive moment as I realized that I finally was able to control my thoughts and take a hold of my mind. Would highly recommend this book to any and all.

As A Man Thinketh is a great book if you wish to change your ways of thinking and come to the realization that your thoughts govern and produce results within your life (law of attraction/manifestation). I would say that this is a book you would read if you're into meditation. The reason I say that is because being open-minded while reading this book is key to getting the most out of this book. Every word, sentence and paragraph resonated with me and ultimately helped me to understand that I am responsible for my own life and how my thoughts respond to circumstances. What is key to benefitting from this book is to ingrain this philosophy into your daily life so that no matter what events unfold you know that this information is true. For some people, they may be able to read this book and get this message saved within their brains the first time. But if you're analytical like I was... you'll need to practice and literally read this over and over until this knowledge becomes second nature. Yes it's common sense that A person's thoughts inevitably create their life, we just need to find a way to direct and control our thoughts or feelings within our subconscious. What has helped for me is meditation. You would listen to guided meditation and then after you've calmed your mind read this book, then meditate again. When you first meditate it's to clear your mind, when you meditate a second time after reading As A Man Thinketh, it's to integrate this knowledge within your psyche so that you meditate on these truths and they become a part of you. This book is enlightening and it's key that it becomes a part of our subconscious so that we can gradually benefit over and over from it. I highly recommend this book.

This is not a smooth, flowing read. It's full of words the average person doesn't use and speech patterns of a time now past. This may or may not be part of its charm and effect.It does however illustrate quite well the though patterns of the champions of our world and lay clear instructions for success in life. Quite simply you are what you think. It's not a book on getting rich or making friends or being happy. It's a book that reminds you of the basic principals of thought and how your thoughts effect every aspect of life. A short little reminder that your mind is your greatest asset or your biggest liability.

Not the book I thought I was getting. Words like "ORIGINAL" or UN-abridged" in MY mind mean: the original work, uncut, not shortened, complete. I have here a 25 page book when I could've sworn the ORIGINAL had 60+

This book packs more power than many of the best selling books in the crowded field combined. You will be better of reading this short book and following through on half of it than buying all of Robbins material and attending his seminars. Not that Tony Robbins and his colleagues does not have valuable lessons to teach, it's just that this book does such a great job in less than 50 pages that any other approach to self improvement seams a waste of time. Read it and then go do it.

I read this tiny book in one sitting last night. In just 50 pages, it manages to convey the most basic keys to happiness. Habits of the mind that determine the quality of our life take time and patience to build and maintain. Especially when we are conditioned to thinking in a certain manner. The language in this book may be a little difficult follow at first but the idea is crystal clear. You create your own happiness and suffering. You are responsible for the person you are today. So take charge of your life.I have read many books that advocate this philosophy. And this surely delivers the message in a concise manner. Do give it a read!

This book is an excellent masterpiece...The author has distilled his thoughts and transferred it into a little but powerful​ book...If you read just first 20 pages... You will never gonna be the same person...I highly recommend this book..

Great product must read small book 1 day complete

“ As a man thinks in his heart so he is” is a verse in proverbs as well as forming the basis of the title of James Allen’s very poignant book on the power of thought “ As a man thinketh” . This book is a timeless classic . It is insightful , poignant and deep. For anyone who is seeking self development and understanding, this is a must read.

Very thought provoking, but I am unsure of the biblical truth behind it. I would say however that Mr Allen's ideas are correct, but the results may not be as certain as he suggests. The language is old fashioned and there are more modern publications that have a similar message.

This book written many years ago by james Allen has fundamental concepts that help us understand the importance our thought life as spoken about in the book of proverbs in the bible (As a man thinks in in heart so is he ) not just in his mind but in his heart the two are inseperable ,this book is not partcularly rooted much in the scriptures or of God ,but the infurance is there.Many teachings on the thought life have been taken for this particular way of thinking about things.Even though it does not mention the holy spirit or God as such,i believe any change in our hearts or thought life need to be a work of Gods grace in us.Very easy to read and can be read through in a fairly short time .its the kind of reading you may be drawn to read more than once,very good.

This is nothing like the original writing. I have deep respect for the man James Allen, but this nothing like his writing. It seems like someone tried to rewrite his work swapping words to avoid copyrights and created senseless phrases. I gave one star because I couldn't leave it blank.I know it doesn't cost much, however this is a waste of time more than waste of money.

This was a gift for someone. I have found this book very helpful for shifting my attitude and beliefs, and highly recommend it. The writing style is a little old fashioned, and you need to tune in to the way things were worded back then, then the message is clear. It can be life changing for anyone willing to do as the author says

This is a classic. Easy to read in an hour or two and so rich with timeless and priceless information. I've learned simple principles that are so easy to miss or forget as a person goes through life. Highly recommended!

"As a man thinketh" is a wonderful small-sized addition to any person's library. James Allen has a brilliantly simplistic style of writing, showing the reader that it is every one's own responsibility for how their garden grows: if we weed out the useless thoughts and replace them with seeds of potential. or we sit back and whine about our unfortunate life, it our own doing. I personally like this book for its small size, being able to re-read it occasionally. It is likely to be the most useful reminder of our personal responsibility in life, highly recommended to all readers

This book must be the grandfather of all self help books, short and snappy in its statements, surprisingly modern at times considering it's more than a hundred years old, but a bit too strong on the individualistic approach as we all live in a social environment that shapes and limits our range of possibilities to a certain extent and cannot be overcome by attitude and positive thinking alone.

I loved this book. It really opened my eyes and changed my perception about life. After reading it I realized that most of my past mistakes and choices have contributed to what I am and have now. Now I know my future will depend on the choices I make, habits I decide to practice and mainly the thoughts I harbour every day.

A short read yet very valuable. This book dives into what it is to find tranquility, peace & love in this world.It really looks at the importance of winning internal battles and putting aside ones ego for the greater good.An eye opening book with a great deal of knowledge.

Great read. Exceptional insight into the benefits of thinking positively

I liked it’s philosophy it was well written and very easy to read, I would recommend this book to anyone who is keen on seeing a different outlook on life.
