From Poverty to Power (Hardcover)

James Allen's ‘From Poverty to Power’ (1901) stands as a seminal text in the self-help genre that has served as a source of inspiration since its publication at the beginning of the twentieth century. Loosely based on its principles around the Biblical proverb “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he”. ‘As a Man Thinketh’ asserts the powerful idea that belief is central to bringing about positive events in one's life. This is Allen's first book that relies on a similar philosophy but addresses themes of adversity and suffering more directly and offers his simple wisdom as a means of overcoming difficulty. Allen's writings are powerful and relevant today as they were over a century ago, and this collection brings solace and inspiration to modern listeners. "A Book for all those who are in search of better conditions, wider freedom, and increased usefulness." —James Allen"
