Books by James Allen

Book SynopsisNew Thought pioneer and philosopher James Allen teaches us how to improve our life and spiritual wellbeing through the power of positive thinking. He believed that life is a pilgrimage, or a path from ignorance to realization. According to him, all men must and will follow this path, at the end of which is a state of spiritual satisfaction, which can be attained only by the earnest efforts of the seeker. He wants us to see what is in front of us and not rush by. Every day new beginnings are presented to us and while many appear small and insignificant, in reality they are the important things in life. "Along the great highway of life there are resting places; away from the heat of passion and the dust of disappointment, under the cool and refreshing shade of lowly Wisdom, are the humble, unimposing ''rest-houses'' of peace, and the little, almost unnoticed, byways of blessedness, where alone the weary and footsore can find. - James Allen

Book SynopsisIn Eight Pillars of Prosperity, James Allen expands on his beliefs that our thoughts and dreams determine the sort of person we will become. Here he reveals in great depth and detail the exact qualities we must meditate upon in order to achieve lasting success. He believed that prosperity rests on eight pillars: Energy, Economy, Integrity, System, Sympathy, Sincerity, Impartiality, and Self-reliance. "A business built up on the faultless practice of all these principles," Allen writes, "would be so firm and enduring as to be invincible. Nothing could injure it; nothing could undermine its prosperity, nothing could interrupt its success." "The moral virtues are the foundation and support of prosperity as they are the soul of greatness. They endure forever, and all the works of man which endure are built upon them. Without them there is neither strength, stability, nor substantial reality, but only ephemeral dreams." - James Allen

Book SynopsisThese are James Allen''s thoughts on personal fulfillment. The first three parts of this book, Passion, Aspiration, and Temptation, represent the common human life, with its passion, pathos, and tragedy. The last three parts, Transcendence, Beatitude, and Peace, represents the Divine Life-calm, wise and beautiful-of the sage and Savior. The middle part, Transmutation, is the transitional stage between the two; it is the alchemic process linking the divine with the human life. Discipline, denial, and renunciation do not constitute the Divine State; they are only the means by which it is attained."The Divine Life is established in that Perfect Knowledge which bestows Perfect Peace." - James Allen
