A century old classic best selling motivational/inspirational book, "As A Man Thinketh," has been updated and modernised to celebrate the books 100th birthday.
A century old classic best selling motivational/inspirational book, "As A Man
Thinketh," has been updated and modernised to celebrate the book;s 100th
birthday. Says new author and former Mr Australia, Richard Hargreaves, "The
original, by James Allen, is a classic best seller, containing secrets and
messages as valid today as they were in1904 when they were written. But although
the content of the message is timeless...the language has dated." For this
reason Richard has modernised the language...but still retained the original
message and spirit of the text..., which is "All that we achieve and all that we
fail to achieve is the direct result of our own thoughts.” James Allen said that
a person's mind is like a garden, which may be intelligently cultivated, or
allowed to run wild. Either way, the garden will bring forth. You are what you
think, and by controlling your thoughts and what goes into your mind, you have
the ability to control life's outcomes.
The updated book has been given a
new title, "Thought Factor". Richard explains the inspiration behind the new
version ”I was browsing at books on Amazon.com and reading some reviews. I came
across the original As A Man Thinketh and started reading what people had to say
about it. Although the original was getting glowing reviews as to its inspiring
message...some readers and fans expressed initial difficulty in getting into it
because of the old style language. Additionally, the books sexist title, and
continual reference to the male gender, makes it politically incorrect in
today’s age. Here’s what one reader said about As A Man Thinketh "My first
impression of this book after the first chapter was that there were way too many
elaborate and confusing words. I felt overwhelmed and just wanted to forget
about the book; it wasn't worth looking up all the words I didn't know just to
try to possibly comprehend what the author was trying to get across."(from an
Amazon.com review by Jess Baxter Scottsdale, AZ USA)
Says Richard..."I
thought that's a shame that such a powerful little book with such a timeless
inspiring message, which influenced me greatly when I first read it 15 years
ago, was not having the maximum impact it could for the simple reason that we
speak and write differently to people a century ago. With this in mind I rewrote
the books timeless message in today’s language...still retaining the original
essence, but expressed in terms more easily understood and accessible to today’s
modern generation.
As A Man Thinketh has influenced many contemporary
writers including Anthony Robbins, Denis Waitley, Earl Nightingdale, and Dr
Norman Vincent Peale, among others. To indicate just how well respected and
revered the original is...Here's what some notable heavyweights in the
self-improvement field have had to say about this classic book...said to be the
instigator of today’s multi million dollar personal development
industry.
"I have personally read As a Man Thinketh over 25 times.
Timeless material." - Mark Victor Hansen, co-author, the Chicken Soup
books.
“I read As a Man Thinketh once a year for over 15 years when I was
in my 20s and 30s.” - Paul J. Meyer, recognized as one of the leading
self-improvement authors of all time
“Some books are so good and
meaningful that you read them again and again. Primarily because you know the
substance and content is so important that you need to be reminded of what it
has to say. As A Man Thinketh, by James Allen is just such a book.” - Book
Review, Michigan Chronicle
"Beyond the New Testament, the Old Testament
and other books documenting the beliefs of the greatest religions of the world,
there is one little book that impacted my life dramatically during my formative
teenage years. The book is As A Man Thinketh, the most widely acclaimed book
written by James Allen, who might be likened to the Norman Vincent Peale or Earl
Nightingale of the late 1800's." - Denis Waitley,Apollo astronauts psychologist
and author of The Psychology of Winning, the best selling audio program in the
world.
Og Mandino counted "As a Man Thinketh" among the top ten success
books of all time.
Says Richard "I'll probably outrage some purists who
reckon the original shouldn't be touched...but I haven't altered the message,
and I think my version is easier to understand. If the message in my version is
more accessible to today’s generation, then it's worth copping any flack. Why
not read it today and put its wisdom to work for you"
