As a Man Thinketh by James Allen
4.0
James Allen was essentially a progenitor of the self help movement. This was interesting, and enjoyable.
I don't fully agree with his take on the effect of thought on health and the body. While some of what he says is correct (it is hard to maintain health and wellness with a negative disposition), I've often found with regard to mental health, the mind follows the body. Exercise and an effort at well being of the body lends itself to a well being of the mind, and so the mind follows the body, and the body follows the mind. It's not quite so clear cut as just ordering your thoughts.
Still, there's plenty to think about in this short treatise on the power of the mind to influence the external world. And the world could certainly do with more people working to attain a level of inner calm and outward strength and peace.
