    James Allen

    James Allen war ein britischer Schriftsteller und Philosoph, der als einer der Pioniere der Selbsthilfe-Literatur gilt. Seine Werke, insbesondere das weltbekannte Buch As a Man Thinketh, sind geprägt von der Überzeugung, dass die Gedanken eines Menschen dessen Realität und Lebensumstände formen. Dieses Werk basiert auf einem Vers aus den Sprüchen der Bibel und veranschaulicht eindrücklich, wie kraftvoll das Denken auf unser Leben wirkt. Allen, der aus einer Arbeiterfamilie in Leicester stammte, begann seine Karriere zunächst als Sekretär und Schriftsetzer. Erst Ende der 1890er Jahre fand er seine Berufung als Autor, inspiriert durch spirituelle und philosophische Überzeugungen. Sein erstes Buch, From Poverty to Power, markierte den Beginn seiner schriftstellerischen Laufbahn, in der er mehr als ein Dutzend Werke verfasste. Zu diesen zählen unter anderem The Life Triumphant und Eight Pillars of Prosperity. Besonders bemerkenswert ist, dass Allen seine Botschaften nicht nur theoretisch formulierte, sondern diese in seinem eigenen Leben anwandte. Seine Schriften basieren auf persönlichen Erfahrungen und tiefen Einsichten, wie seine Frau nach seinem Tod betonte. Auch nach seinem Tod setzte sie die Veröffentlichung seiner Werke fort, was Allens Lehren über die Kraft des positiven Denkens zu einem langfristigen Vermächtnis machte.

    Introduction

    Image455.JPG

    Don’t we all know how the world around us moves at a faster pace each day! People, things, situations, emotions and even love get severely complicated in that rush, making it nearly impossible to walk in line with it. Have you ever wondered why it is so important to walk along the world? Why can we not set our own pace, as per our comfort? What happens when we are buried under the fear of being left behind?

    These problems may sound contemporary, but have manifested themselves in one form or the other since time immemorial. A definitive way to beat this fear and take control of our lives is to strengthen the mind and the thoughts it generates. This book is a collection of four works that sum up the hows, whys and whats of taming the mind and its infinite energies, of channelizing the power of positive thinking, and striking a balance between the inner world of our thoughts as against the outer world of action.

    As A Man Thinketh clearly maps out the way in which our thoughts can affect our physical, mental, emotional and social health. It also discusses ways in which we can use our visions and ideas to lead us to peace of mind. From Passion to Peace is a step by step discussion on conquering the factors within us that hinder us from achieving success. Man:
