One of the first great modern writers of motivational and inspirational books, James Allen has influenced millions around the world through his classic work As a Man Thinketh. This little book, first published in 1909, gathers the essence of his insight into a month's worth of twice-daily affirmations and meditations culled from his many inspiring works. From the necessity of sacrifice in aiming for blessedness to the healing power of sympathy, Allen's words still sing sweetly today, a century after they were written.
