Books by James Allen
James Allen (1864-1912, English) was a Victorian writer of books that would
today be termed "motivational," or related to "personal growth." His best
known work was his second book, As a Man Thinketh. His first book
was The Path to Prosperity. Allen, an Anglican, was also strongly
influenced by Tolstoy's moral philosophy and by Buddhist teachings; his books
present a brilliant synthesis of "right thinking" from a variety of sources, and
he himself believed that " . . . until you can regard men of all religions and of no
religion with the same impartial spirit, with all freedom from dislike,
and with perfect equanimity, you have yet to strive for that Love which bestows
upon its possessor freedom and salvation."
