As a Man Thinketh for Today's Readers
James Allen's classic rephrased in contemporary language

Widely considered the greatest self-help book of all-time, As a Man Thinketh reveals how our thoughts shape our character and influence our circumstances, health, and achievements. The choice is yours: either master your mind to create the life you want, or remain mired in frustration and failure.

While James Allen's writing was exceptionally clear for its time, As a Man Thinketh—like any 100-year-old book—uses archaic language that can be difficult to grasp. In this 21st Century Edition, bestselling author Sam Torode entirely rephrases Allen's ideas in contemporary English, making his wisdom available to today's readers. It's also gender-neutral (except for retaining the original title), because this is a book for all humans.

This book is now also available in comic book format from PhilosoComics! Search for As We Think: James Allen's Guide to the Power of Thought by Sam Torode & Alexander Marchand, ASIN B08FP7LHRN.

Editorial Reviews

About the Author

James Allen (1864-1912) was born into a working-class British family. At age fifteen, his father was tragically killed, and James dropped out of school to work and support his family. Reading voraciously and developing his writing skills during his few spare hours, he worked his way up to the level of executive secretary. Through it all, James focused his thoughts on truth, beauty, virtue, and success, and these qualities came to define his life. At age 38, James retired from business to become a full-time writer and contemplative philosopher, pouring out his thoughts in a steady stream of books, the most renowned being As a Man Thinketh. 
 
Sam Torode, adaptor of this edition of As a Man Thinketh, creates books that entertain, inform, and inspire. He is author of the bestselling humorous novel The Dirty Parts of the Bible and several philosophical works including The Manual, The Meditations, Living from the Soul, and Secrets of the Mind.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Little book
Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2017

I've purchased "As a Man Thinketh" first in its original 1908 format, and I found the language to difficult to follow for such a slim volume. So I next spent a few cents and bought the kindle version of the New Century Version. And I devoured it. I read it like it was the very answers to all of my deep questions. But I'm not a big Kindle fan. So I bought the New Century version in the only format that was available; paperback. I'd rather have this in a hardback, because I know I'm going to be reading it over and over again.
The truths are simple yet profound. I'm presently reading "The Rewired Brain" by Dr Ski Chilton, and these two books have similar advice. One takes forty minutes to read. The other goes into the science of the brain and how to retrain your thoughts. I've been reading it for three weeks and I'm still working on it! I highly recommend this version of "As a Man Thinketh" for today's reader. Good information in a tight package.

A good summary of the teachings of the Buddha. But you don’t need to be a believer. You only need to work with the greatest tool you have, your mind.

Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2020

Absolutely the best little book ever. This book should be read the first time with a highlighter and re-read often. I wholeheartedly agree that our thoughts direct our life. ENJOY! I had purchased the original copy at a thrift store years ago but I gave up reading it because it was a different style of language and couldn’t get through it as well as I wanted. I subsequently donated it back to them. I came across this one and bought it because it was written in today’s language and got great reviews. It will be in my library and in my head for a very long time to come. Do yourself a whopping favor and buy this book. It just might change your life for the better!

This is the original philosophical book that The Secret took, ruined and ripped off. It is only a tiny book that can be read in a day, but it will have a deeper conscious and unconscious effect on how you see yourself, the world and your self in it.
