As A Man Thinketh, Above Life’s Turmoil, The Path To Prosperity, The Way of Peace, Four Books by James Allen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I love James Allen’s ‘As a Man Thinketh’. It is required reading in our home. This particular edition has 4 of his books. “Above life’s turmoil” was excellent as well. However “Path to Prospertiy” is rather redundant from the first two books but still worthwhile. We will see what “the Way to Peace” is like. I will let you know when I complete it.
Now I probably would have given this 5 stars, just because the book ‘As a Man Thinketh’ alone is well worth the time and resources. It is the book I most often recommend to read. It is short with practically every phrase well thought out and meaningful. The only reason it did not get 5 stars was because of the very poor job the publisher did on the layout of the book, the font and readability because of those factors. I would highly recommend another version of these books. Probably each in seperate editions. I personally have “As a Man Thinketh” as a seperate book and have given many copies away.

Hi Eric
Thank you again for introducing us to this book. In my opinion the industry we are in is at least 75% personal development or in some people’s opinion more. It is important for us to feed ourselves with knowledge to get the food our brain needs to help us along our chosen journey, we are in the age of Life Long Learning and to help us change our mindsets and become the best we can be, we need to continue to educate ourselves.
Books, audios, DVDs etc… are all vital to our growth. It’s always good to have recommendations. Thank for keeping us fed.

Hi Eric,
“As A Man Thinketh” is another classic book for everyone to read and the reread periodically. It is on my “reread” shelf. “Men do not attract what they want, but what they are.” It’s the cycle of “Being, Doing, Having.”
Thanks Eric for brining this classic back to mind!
