Amazon.com description: Product Description: Offering his patented brand of spiritual advice that relied as much on self-empowerment as inspiration, James Allen, one of the most popular writers in the field at the turn of the 20th century, sets out to show the elements of character and conduct that go towards building a "life of calm strength and superlative victory." In helping the reader achieve "victory over all the dark things of life," Allen has written a self-help book for anyone "eager to learn, and earnest to achieve." This is another inspirational landmark from the bestselling author of As a Man Thinketh. British author and pop philosopher JAMES ALLEN (1864-1912) retired from the business world to pursue a life of writing and contemplation. He authored many books about the power of thought including The Way of Peace, The Mastery of Destiny, and Entering the Kingdom. James Allen is truly one of the most significant authors on wealth and prosperity, yet so many younger people have never heard of him. His advice is timeless and powerful. Highly recommended.
