About the book
James Allen's guide to personal improvement centres on the force of thought. Its author presents it as a short, plainly worded handbook meant to be easy for anyone to follow and apply. The central claim is that each person holds, within his own inner world of thinking, the key to every circumstance, favourable or not, that enters his life. Allen argues that by working on his thoughts with patience and intelligence, a person can rebuild his life and change the conditions around him. He pitches it as a pocket companion for thoughtful people.
