James Allen was born in Leicester, Central England, November 28, 1864. The family business failed within a few years, and in 1879 his father left for America in an effort to recoup his losses. The elder Allen had hoped to settle in the United States, but was robbed and murdered before he could send for his family.James Allen is a literary mystery man. His inspirational writings have influenced millions for good. Yet today he remains almost unknown...... None of his nineteen books give a clue to his life other than to mention his place of residence - Ilfracombe, England. His name cannot be found in a major reference work. Not even the Library of Congress or the British Museum has much to say about him.Who was this man who believed in the power of thought to bring fame, fortune and happiness? Or did he, as Henry David Thoreau says, hear a different drummer?...... James Allen never gained fame or fortune. That much is true. His was a quiet, unrewarded genius. He seldom made enough money from his writings to cover expenses.As A Man Thinketh was Allen's second book. Despite its subsequent popularity he was dissatisfied with it. Even though it was his most concise and eloquent work, the book that best embodied his thought, he somehow failed to recognize its value. His wife Lily had to persuade him to publish it.The financial crisis that resulted forced James to leave school at fifteen. He eventually became a private secretary, a position that would be called administrative assistant today. He worked in this capacity for several British manufacturers until 1902, when he decided to devote all his time to writing.Unfortunately, Allen's literary career was short, lasting only nine years, until his death in 1912. During that period he wrote nineteen books, a rich outpouring of ideas that have lived on to inspire later generations.Soon after finishing his first book, From Poverty To Power, Allen moved to Ilfracombe, on England's southwest coast. The little resort town with its seafront Victorian hotels and its rolling hills and winding lanes offered him the quiet atmosphere he needed to pursue his philosophical studies.James Allen strove to live the ideal life described by Russia's great novelist and mystic Count Leo Tolstoy - the life of voluntary poverty, manual labor and ascetic self-discipline. Like Tolstoy, Allen sought to improve himself, be happy, and master all of the virtues. His search for felicity for man on earth was typically Tolstoyan.The works of James Allen are eminently practical. He never wrote theories, or for the sake of writing, or to add another to the existing books. According to his wife, Allen wrote when he had a message, and it became a message only when he had lived it in his own life, and knew that it was good. Thus he wrote facts, which he had proven by practice.

Resenha da Editora Este livro não nasceu da mente oportunista de um desses autores modernos de obras caça-níqueis que chamamos de ¿autoajudä. Seu autor, James Allen, nasceu no século XIX, em 1864, e morreu em 1912, há 110 anos. Em sua curta vida de 47 anos, cheia de sofrimento e privações, ele descobriu que, se controlasse sua mente, seus pensamentos, poderia realizar seus sonhos, construir uma vida com propósito, ter sucesso e ser feliz. A família de Allen, abandonada e sem renda numa Inglaterra sem empregos, tinha tudo para dar errado na vida, e durante quase 20 anos foi na pobreza que eles viveram. Mas, em 1901, já com 37 anos, Allen ¿ que lia sem parar ¿ escreveu seu primeiro livro. Foi um sucesso instantâneo. A família passou, então, a viver de suas ideias, mas ele mesmo pouco aproveitou o sucesso, pois morreu 10 anos depois. Sua mulher, Lily L. Allen, cuidou de sua obra, tornando-a conhecida mundialmente. Podemos considerar que James Allen foi um filósofo ¿mentalistä. Estava lendo a Bíblia quando se deparou com uma passagem do livro dos Provérbios, Cap. 23:7. ¿Como um homem pensa em seu coração, assim ele é¿, estava lá escrito, e, a partir dali, ele desenvolveu as ideias de seu pequeno e mais famoso livro ¿ este ¿, que acabou sendo lido em todo o mundo e lhe trouxe grande fama. Allen é hoje, com seus 19 livros, uma das figuras pioneiras do pensamento inspirador moderno. Imagine que um pensamento passa por sua mente. Você pode até não ter consciência plena dele. Mas, mesmo assim, como uma semente que é lançada ao solo, ele germina ¿ não necessariamente naquele momento. James Allen nos faz um convite singelo: reflita sobre o mundo e os outros e concentre- -se em seus pensamentos mais valiosos, que podem lhe dar força e determinação para avançar na direção de seus principais objetivos. Sonhe grande. Não perca tempo com o que não vale a pena. Olhe para a frente. Avalie todas as circunstâncias e não desista nunca. Com conselhos tão simples, mas tão eficazes, as ideias de Allen há mais de 100 anos têm levado fé, inspiração e autocura a todos os que se dedicaram a pôr em prática seus valiosos ensinamentos. Esta nova edição, que acompanha o original na íntegra, sem os cortes que caracterizaram outras edições, traz também uma biografia ilustrada do autor e um anexo com exercícios para ajudar o leitor a colocar em prática o que se ensina. Allen nunca escreveu propriamente teorias vagas: ele vivia o que pregava, e só escrevia depois de testar o que vivia e ter certeza de que era bom e valeria muito para a vida de qualquer pessoa. Isso posto, aproveite. Basta ler estas singelas palavras, fazer os exercícios e esperar pelos resultados.
