A man should conceive of a legitimate purpose in his heart, and set out to accomplish it. He should make this purpose the centralizing point of his thoughts. It may take the form of a spiritual ideal, or it may be a worldly object, according to his nature at the time being; but whichever it is, he should steadily focus his thought-forces upon the object, which he has set before him. He should make this purpose his supreme duty, and should devote himself to its attainment, not allowing his thoughts to wander away into ephemeral fancies, longings, and imaginings. This is the royal road to self-control and true concentration of thought. Even if he fails again and again to accomplish his purpose (as he necessarily must until weakness is overcome), the strength of character gained will be the measure of his true success, and this will form a new starting-point for future power and triumph.
James Allen (1864–1912) was an English philosophical writer and pioneer of the self-help movement known for his inspirational books and poetry. In 1903, he published his best-known book, As a Man Thinketh, a work inspired by the biblical passage Proverbs 23:7, “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he,” which reveals a fundamental truth of human nature: A man is literally what he thinks. In 1904, he published its sequel, Out From the Heart. Combined here in one volume, these two transcendent books, with their concise, forthright ideas and deceptively simple principles, offer a revolutionary outlook of empowerment that has touched hearts and inspired millions around the world to reshape and redefine their destinies for the better — and have consecrated James Allen as one of the founding fathers and most widely-loved figures of modern inspirational thought.

Praise
“A wonderful little classic.” —Elizabeth R. Hogan, The Power of Words in Your Life
“The full impact of As a Man Thinketh can best be seen in the successive generations of everyday readers who embraced its aphoristic lessons directing one’s thoughts to higher aims, and to understand success as the outer manifestation of inner development.” —Mitch Horowitz, One Simple Idea
“Years ago, I read a little book that had a lasting and profound effect on my life. It was called As a Man Thinketh by James Allen.” —Dale Carnegie
“The reading of these books brings contentment, peace, courage, kindness, joy, and love. These strengthen the will, expand the heart, enrich the blood, stimulate diges- tion, and fill the being with vitality, power, and poise.” —The Business Philosopher
“A little book of quiet thought and sound thinking.” —The Fort Worth Record and Register
“Every man and woman who thinks should have a copy. It is a reasonable appeal to reasonable people who are beginning to find out that they are themselves the makers of their whole lives, by the thoughts which they continually think.” —Unity
“One of the most stimulating and inspiring little books of all time.” —Lilian Eichler Watson, Light From Many Lamps
“Reasonable, sane, and clear enough in its context for the simplest mind to grasp, while brief enough for none who reads to grow weary . . . a book which will prove helpful to everyone who reads it, and it is one which should widely circulate and be read, not once but many times.” —The Daily Nonpareil
