About the Author

James Allen (1864-1912) was a philosophical writer of British nationality known for his inspirational books and poetry. His best known work, As a Man Thinketh, was mass produced since its publication in 1903 and has provided a key source of ideas to countless bestselling motivational and self-help authors of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. As a result he is considered as the pioneer of self help movement. As with many of Allen's works, the book's launch was quiet and its full impact was not felt until after his passing. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Accessible, beautiful, and dreamy, September 23, 2009

This review is from: The Way of Peace (Paperback)

A beautiful meditation about truth vs. the self. Allen discusses 5 things to consider during meditation which I write below in order to remember.

1. Love - even your enemies
2. Pity - compassion for all human beings in suffering
3. Joy - rejoice and share in the joy of those in the world experiencing it
4. Impurity - how those little things about the "self" and the need to immediate pleasure stop us from the truth
5. Sereniity - bring yourself above love & hate, tyranny and oppression, above everything toward truth

A very accessible, beautiful dreamy peace on exploring truth in the philosophical sense.

It is a beautiful book to read and to listen to. James Allen was before his time. I am reading all of his philosophy now. His books continue to teach what is Good in us All. I wish I had learned of him a long time ago.
