bythecshore: Dated but the essence is still true
I bought this thinking that it would be good to give to some of my employees at work. However, after listening to it, I decided not to because of its age. The writing style is very dated, as this goes back to 1913. Can't blame the author, but for 30-somethings, I think there are better choices if you really want them to listen (or read) something.

What I really like about the book is that the message of visualization rings true. It seems to be the basis for books like The Secret, which, to me, went way overboard on promising what this type of thinking can deliver.

So - if you don't mind the old-style prose, give this a read or listen) - it's the real deal.
Sheufly8: Egotistical Christian Background; Englightened Truth Frees All
This book is a wonderful little book full of heavy concepts of truth and peace that strike chords within your intelligence and logic to produce harmony.

I highly recommend this book for any who man who is willing and delighted to tend to his inner garden.

My personal copy is about 4.5 inches tall and 3 inches wide. Great for travel!
John Fontaine: This book is more valuable than a bar of gold
This book changed my life - literally. Before I stumbled across this book my life was a disaster. I was 31, living with my parents, no job, no money, my girlfriend had just dumped me, I was binge drinking at the weekends. I felt like a rudderless ship in a storm. This book changed all that. I read it all in one sitting - the truth is irresistable.

James Allen saw clearly what the rest of us couldn't see - what we think is what we are. If your thoughts are mostly negative - you'll mostly feel bad and because you'll feel bad, you'll act bad. And acting bad or negatively will produce negative results in your life. You reap what you sow. And the exact opposite is true too! Positive thoughts = good feelings = good actions = good life. The best ideas are so simple.

I took all the ideas in this little book and followed them. It was hard at first to break the old habits. I stuck with it and within 6 months my whole life had changed for the better. I started my own business, found my soulmate and became a better all round human being. I brought forth amazing new experiences, visited Paris, London, Iceland within a 1 year. I am now living the life of my dreams and I have James Allen to thank for it. Hopefully this book will bring you your dream life too. God bless and good luck!
