Offering his patented brand of spiritual advice that relied as much on self-empowerment as inspiration, James Allen-one of the most popular writers in the field at the turn of the 20th century-sets out to show the elements of character and conduct that go towards building a "life of calm strength and superlative victory." In helping the reader achieve "victory over all the dark things of life," Allen has written a self-help book for anyone "eager to learn, and earnest to achieve." This is another inspirational landmark from the bestselling author of As a Man Thinketh. British author and pop philosopher JAMES ALLEN (1864-1912) retired from the business world to pursue a life of writing and contemplation. He authored many books about the power of thought including The Way of Peace, The Mastery of Destiny, and Entering the Kingdom.
James Allen war ein britischer Schriftsteller und Pionier der modernen Ratgeber- und Selbsthilfeliteratur. Geboren im englischen Leicester, musste er nach dem frühen Tod seines Vaters bereits mit 15 Jahren die Schule verlassen und in Fabriken arbeiten. Trotz dieser schwierigen Umstände bildete er sich autodidaktisch weiter und beschäftigte sich intensiv mit Philosophie, Religion und den Lehren östlicher Weisheitstraditionen.View all by James Allen
