Ihr Denken formt Ihr Leben – nicht umgekehrt. Was wäre, wenn jeder Ihrer Gedanken still und unaufhaltsam an Ihrem Morgen arbeitet? James Allens „Wie der Mensch denkt, so lebt er“ ist weit mehr als ein Klassiker der Selbstentwicklung. Es ist eine leise, aber kraftvolle Erinnerung daran, dass wahre Veränderung im Inneren beginnt – nicht im Außen. Diese neu übersetzte und sorgfältig eingesprochene Hörbuchfassung lädt Sie dazu ein, einen Schritt zurückzutreten – aus dem Lärm des Alltags – und bewusst hinzusehen: auf Ihre Denkmuster, Ihre inneren Überzeugungen, Ihre Haltung zum Leben.

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. In the first chapter he writes: "As is the heart, so is the life. The within is ceaselessly becoming the without. Nothing remains unrevealed. That which is hidden is but for a time; it ripens and comes forth at last."

The Way of Peace was written by James Allen, who was most famous for As a Man Thinketh. However, this book reflects more accurately his New Thought Movement affiliations, referencing as it does Christianity, Buddhism, and Hinduism. The Way of Peace contains many of the same ideas, but the focus is more on meditation, selfless love, and spiritual power.

From Poverty to Power shows how one may rise above adversity and poverty by taking the paths of material prosperity and truth to ultimately reach the goal of spiritual peace. Enduring success in any field is shown to be the result of inner adjustment and growth.

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.

The genius of the present age in matters spiritual is towards simplicity, and the hunger of the human heart is for Truth naked and uninvolved. That hunger will eventually bring about (is already bringing about) its own satisfaction, and here and there are men and women who, passing through the Gateway of Self-conquest, are entering into possession of the Transcendent Righteousness.

From the Foreword: Along the highways of Burma there is placed, at regular distances away from the dust of the road, and under the cool shade of a group of trees, a small wooden building called a “rest-house”, where the weary traveller may rest a while, and allay his thirst and assuage his hunger and fatigue by partaking of the food and water which the kindly inhabitants place there as a religious duty.

The first three parts of this book, Passion, Aspiration, and Temptation, represent the common human life, with its passion, pathos, and tragedy. The last three parts, Transcendence, Beatitude, and Peace, represents the Divine Life calm, wise and beautiful of the sage and Savior.

"In seeking for pleasures here and rewards hereafter men have destroyed (in their hearts) the Temple of Righteousness, and have wandered from the Kingdom of Heaven. By ceasing to seek for earthly pleasures and heavenly rewards, the Temple of Righteousness is restored and the Kingdom of Heaven is found. This truth is for those who are ready to receive it; and this book also is for those whose souls have been prepared for the acceptance of its teaching."

There is, and always has been, a widespread belief in fate, or destiny, that is, in an eternal and inscrutable power which apportions definite ends to both individuals and nations. This belief has arisen from long observation of the facts of life. Men are conscious that there are certain occurrences which they cannot control, and are powerless to avert. Birth and death, for instance, are inevitable, and many of the incidents of life appear equally inevitable. Men strain every nerve for the attainment of certain ends.

"When a man enters a dark room he is not sure of his movements, he cannot see objects around him, or properly locate them, and is liable to hurt himself by coming into sudden contact with them. But let a light be introduced, and immediately all confusion disappears.... To the majority, life is such a dark room, and their frequent hurts...are caused by sudden contact with principles which they do not see, and are therefore not prepared to deal with. But when the light of wisdom is introduced into the darkened understanding, confusion vanishes...." (from the foreword by James Allen)
