As a Man Thinketh《recommends it for: Everyone》

Simple short and yet amazing! This book can be read in 20 to 30 minutes. This is one of those books where every line is a seminar that can be reflected on and pondered. No fluff here.

It's the kind of book that you'll be reading and all of sudden you have to put the book down to comprehend the magnitude of what is being said.

Thoughts are things. Read this book to find out how to put this universal law into action. Need I say more?

Some of my favorite quotes:

Thought and character are one.

The dreamers are the saviors of the world.

In all human affairs there are efforts and there are results and the strength of the effort is the measure of the result. Chance is not.

A man is literally what he thinks his character being the complete sum of all his thoughts.

Act is the blossom of thought and joy and suffering are its fruits.

Circumstance does not make the man; it reveals him to himself.

Men do not attract that which they want but that which they are.

Indigence and indulgence are the two extremes of wretchedness.

He who has conquered doubt and fear has conquered failure.

Thought allied fearlessly to purpose becomes creative force.

They who have no central purpose in their life fall an easy prey to petty worries fears troubles and self-pityings.

Victories attained by right thought can only be maintained by watchfulness.

Men imagine that thought can be kept secret but it cannot; it rapidly crystallizes into habit and habit solidifies into circumstance.

There is no physician like cheerful thought for dissipating the ills of the body; there is no comforter to compare with good will for dispersing the shadows of grief and sorrow.

A man cannot directly choose his circumstances but he can choose his thoughts and so indirectly yet surely shape is circumstances.
