As a Man Thinketh

I just read this book by James Allen and I think everyone should read it. Here is a link so you can download it online and print it out (it is only 19 pages).

James Allen wrote 19 books in 9 years and he is often quoted in General Conference.
Here is the opening paragraph of the foreword:

"This little volume (the result of meditation and experience) is not intended as an exhaustive treatise on the much-written upon subject of the power of thought. It is suggestive rather than explanatory, its object being to stimulate men and women to the discovery and perception of the truth that - 'They themselves are makers of themselves'"

Here is the last paragraph and invitation from Mr. Allen:

"Tempest-tossed souls, wherever ye may be, under whatsoever conditions ye may live know this - in the ocean of life the isles of Blessedness are smiling, and the sunny shore of your ideal awaits your coming. Keep your hand firmly upon the helm of thought, In the bark of your soul reclines the commanding Master; He does but sleep; wake Him. Self-control is strength; Right Thought is mastery; Calmness is power. Say unto your heart, "peace, be still!"
