AS WE THINK, SO WE ARE

As We Think, So We Are offers a contemporary interpretation of the century-old work of James Allen, one of the founders of the self-help movement.

James Allen effectively launched the self-help movement in 1902 with the publication of As a Man Thinketh, a book outlining his belief in the transformative power of thought that became the basis for such works as Rev. Norman Vincent Peale’s The Power of Positive Thinking and Rhonda Byrne’s hit book and movie, The Secret. As We Think, So We Are pairs three of Allen’s powerful, well-known essays with modern adaptations by scholar, Dr. Ruth Miller. Using concise, easy-to-understand language, Dr. Miller transforms Allen’s powerful message to a practical, everyday practice that any twenty-first century reader can master.
