It is popularly supposed that a greater prosperity for individuals or nations can only come through a political and social reconstruction. This cannot be true apart from the practice of the moral virtues in the individuals that comprise a nation.

This was the third book by New Thought philosopher James Allen and was published in 1903. It consists of two volumes, each of which was later published separately: Entering the Kingdom and The Heavenly Life. Although he recommended the search for spiritual principles, James Allen was no supporter of organized religion. In fact, he disparages the search for both earthly pleasures and heavenly rewards. In his view the Kingdom of Heaven is in the here and now, and can only be reached by adopting the right mode of living.

In this short treatise New Thought author James Allen explores one of his favourite principles: that the outward expression of a person is governed by his inner disposition.

That which is hidden is but for a time; it ripens and comes forth at last."

The solution lies in understanding the innate psychological forces that conspire against us.

As a Man Thinketh is an inspirational book by James Allen, first published in 1903. It deals with the power of thought, and particularly with the use and application of thought to create happy and prosperous circumstances. The writing is simple, so that all can easily grasp the teachings and put the methods into practice. In the earlier work, From Poverty to Power: The Realization of Prosperity and Peace, (1901) Allen emphasizes that a disciplined mind and a focus on serving others are the keys to achieving prosperity.

The first three parts of this work, "Passion", "Aspiration", and "Temptation", represent the common human life, with its passion, pathos, and tragedy. The last three parts, "Transcendence", "Beatitude", and "Peace", represent the divine life - calm, wise, and beautiful - of the sage and savior. The middle part, "Transmutation", is the transitional stage between the two; it is the alchemic process linking the divine with the human life.

This short tract on the power of thought was the second book written by New Thought author James Allen and was first published in 1903. It has never been out of print and is now considered one of most influential self help texts of all time. The title is taken from a verse in Chapter 23 of the Book of Proverbs: "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." Allen's central thesis is that thought is not just a vehicle for comprehending and explaining the world, but is also the prime mechanism for creating and modifing human experience.

In this self-help book influenced by the power of thought, Allen discusses mind over matter and how each person is responsible for everything that comes into their life - good or bad. But, if people are patient, they can remake their own lives by themselves.
