As A Man Thinketh
by James Allen
Originally published in 1903, this book is timeless in many ways. It explores how our thoughts and taking responsibility shape our lives.
It’s short—between 40 and 60 pages, depending on the format. I remember where I was when someone recommended it, and I consistently review my notes.
From The Book
Just as a gardener cultivates his plot, keeping it free from weeds, and growing the flowers and fruits which he requires, so may a man tend the garden of his mind, weeding out all the wrong, useless, and impure thoughts, and cultivating toward perfection the flowers and fruits of right, useful, and pure thoughts.
