This book goes with me nearly everywhere. I'd read it several years ago and it was helpful in getting me to get outside myself, and change my attitude a bit (oh, what a helpless victim of circumstance and other people's actions I'd been!)

Later, I ordered up several copies to hand out. When I was an executive, other women would sometimes come to me with complaints about who did this to them, and why they were helpless to change. Everything I suggested had a 'Yeah, but...<sigh>' attached to it. Before I hit my mid-40's, I was caught in the drama, feeling responsible and depressed by their circumstnaces.

Then I started handing out copies of the book. I'm sure many thought I was nuts, but a couple have actually gotten the message.

I'm not a tough-minded broad, but a bleeding heart liberal who finally realized you can help a fellow working-woman to grow not by solving her problems, but by supporting her as she learns she can do it herself.

The language in the book (really a booklet) is based on "As A Man Thinketh", but altered just slightly for women. It is invigorating to realize that what is true for the gander is true for the goose.

Don't be put off by the style - "Woman is buffetted by circumstances so long as she believes herself to be the creature of outside conditions, but when she realizes that she is a creative power, and that she may command the hidden soil and sees of her being out of which circumstances grow, she then becomes the rightful master of herself."

Oh yes! So, here's the message - what you think and do greatly affects what happens to you. You aren't the victim you think you are, so move on!

"As A Man Thinketh" and "As I Think" are also available.

This book has added a lot of richness and inspiration to my relationship with God. It is true that if one thinks negatively all the time nothing good will come out of his/her but if one thinks positively everything he/she does will yeild good results: this book makes it perferct and simple to grasp the concept. I will recommend "As a man thinketh" to everyone who is willing to improve upon their thinking process. I also believe that we are what we think. You will not regret spending money on it. I bought one for my husband and I keep mine in my purse for easy access and reference. God bless you.

A friend gave me a copy of this book in 1992. I have read it every year since. It is a great inspiration and a truly profound book. I look forward to reading As a Man Thinketh as well.

I have to admit, I was disappointed in this book. I had read, "As a Man Thinketh" and loved that book. It is a classic on the power of thought. So when I saw there was an, "As a Woman Thinketh," I thought it would be interesting to see what it said. This book literally just takes "As a Man Thinketh" and replaces all the masculine gender references with feminine gender references. So "he" becomes "she" and "him" becomes "her", etc.

I would recommend reading the original book, "As a Man Thinketh" by James Allen.

This is a small, but powerful, little book. Take the contents to heart.
For a woman, there is more appeal in choosing the "female version" of
this booklet. It is inspirational in nature, and the truth of it's subject
is what inspires, and makes it powerful. The fact that the phrasing of
the statements therein, are in an "old-fashioned" style of speech does
not detract from it's valuable message.

I really like this book It makes you think about what you say and do. I encourage all women to read it.

I read this book often. it is in my purse so when I am somewhere waiting I will re-read. Highly recommended.

This is a book everywoman should have and share with other women and young adults. I carry this book with me at all times, and have given copies to the women in life.

This little book is a gem. It is my bedside bible and I refer to it often.

This small but powerful books goes to the depth of you. You can put on a happy face to the world, but if the thoughts that run through your mind aren't lined up right and monitored carefully, it doesn't change your circumstances. It's written a bit 'high brow', but inspite of the old English wording, you definitely get the message. A basic for anyone seeking to better themselves inside and out. It's nice that they changed the gender wording so it is more personal for women, although you can get the same jist from the original.
