James Allen The Little Known Master of Positive Thought

James Allen

James Allen has touched the lives and influenced millions around the world and yet remains little known to the world he effected.  His book As A Man Thinketh was the second of the twenty plus books he penned in his brief writing career and it has served down through the years as a beacon to those who want to lead a richer and happier life.  The theme of the book is You Are What You Think and it is the basis of all positive thinking and motivational teachings today.

James Allen was born in 1864 in Leicester, England.  His parents produced a large family and supported it wit a business that unfortunately became bankrupt in 1878.  The father decided to go to America for a new start.  He planned to go himself in the beginning, become established and then bring over the rest of the family as soon as he could but those plans were tragically ended.  Shortly after arriving in his adopted homeland he died under inexplicable circumstances.  Young James was15 at the time and had to begin working to help support his destitute family 

Until 1902 he worked in office administration.  He had always been a student of spiritual concepts and he liked to write so at that time he decided to become a full time writer.  His wife Lily was also a writer.  He moved his little family (wife Lily and daughter Nora Lily) to the little resort town of Ilfracombe on the southwest shore of England and did become a full time writer.  His daily routine soon became a ritual of rising before dawn and walking to a hilltop with a view of the ocean for an hour of contemplation.  The morning was devoted to his writings and in the afternoon he would tend his garden.  Most evenings were spent with friends discussing different topics of interest.  

The book As A Man Thinketh was his second book and he did not think it was good enough for publication but his wife urged him to complete the project.  Luckily it was published and it has done a world of good.  It is very ironic that this unassuming man who doubted the value of his book has improved the lives of so many people around the world and gets very little credit for his great book..
