Publisher's Synopsis
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.
