Everything You Want to Know - All in One Place
Allen, James
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."
