It has some decent points. However, a good portion of it gives off a high and mighty air that the writer has of himself and his opinions. A short and relatively easy read, but not something I would read again or highly recommend to a friend.

“Self-control is strength; Right Thought is mastery; Calmness is power; Say unto your heart, Peace, be still.” - As a Man Thinketh by James Allen
One of the apt examples of demonstrating ‘less is more’. A book that is small, thin and with an average of 100 words per page has more depth than so many other average sized books. It precisely explains how we are responsible for our own ups and downs irrespective of the nature of our circumstances.

I don't share Allen's total faith in people's ability of being makers of their own destiny but it's still quick and enjoyable read with some interesting insights.
Every other page of this book is a quote you could find on a mirror or a dentist office poster. A great book to read, especially after just reading the Essential Gandhi. I would have liked some more examples, methinks. It is amazing how powerful the power of the mind and thinking really is. Sometimes it is just easier said than done.
I thinketh that I do not like this book. I find it to be sickeningly positive in nature, and maybe in a perfect world, that kind of "thinking" can lead to happiness, but in truth, the world can be a dark, dark, place, and a positive thought does not always guarantee happiness.
