Above Life's Turmoil

Mit seinem Buch "Wie wir denken, so leben wir" (As A Man Thinketh) liefert James Allen nichts Geringeres als einen Schlüssel zu einem selbstbestimmten Leben. Er macht kein Geheimnis daraus, dass er diesen Schlüssel nicht "erfunden" hat. Vielmehr hat er ihn wiederentdeckt: in alten Schriften wie der Bibel und dem Dhammapada (einer Anthologie von Aussprüchen des historischen Buddha), in traditionellen westlichen und östlichen Philosophien und Denkweisen. Was er schließlich zu Papier brachte, beruhte auf den Erkenntnissen, die er aus diesen Lehren gezogen hatte, und vor allem auf seinen persönlichen Erfahrungen. Denn James Allen war alles andere als ein Theoretiker. Er hat sich kurz gefasst, und das ist ein Vorteil, denn ein Buch wie dieses liest man nicht einmal, sondern wieder und wieder, bis das vermittelte Wissen sich dem Unbewussten eingeprägt hat und zur verlässlichen Grundlage des eigenen Denkens und Handelns geworden ist. Das ist wichtig, denn erst dann kann es seine Wirkung entfalten und zu nachhaltigen Veränderungen führen. "As A Man Thinketh" war James Allens drittes Buch und sein erfolgreichstes. Es hat den Autor berühmt gemacht, wenn auch erst nach dessen Ableben, als sich das Buch im Lauf der Jahre nicht nur in England sondern rund um den Globus verbreitete.Wenn ein Buch über hundert Jahre nach seiner Erstveröffentlichung im Jahr 1902 noch immer millionenfach gekauft und gelesen wird, kommt das sicher nicht von ungefähr, sondern ist ein deutlicher Hinweis darauf, dass es Substanz hat und zeitloses Wissen vermittelt. Vielleicht wird das Buch deshalb heute noch gelesen, weil der Autor sein Wissen darin kurz und bündig vermittelt, ohne darauf zu schielen, dass ein dickeres Buch mehr Geld einbringen würde. Deshalb braucht er das, was er zu sagen hat, nicht künstlich aufzuplustern. Vielleicht liegt der lang anhaltende Erfolg aber auch daran, dass James Allen einer der ersten Autoren war, der die Macht der Gedanken als Buchthema entdeckt hatte. Man spürt, dass er selbst glaubt, was er verkündet. Das verleiht dem Buch Authentizität. Vielleicht stößt sein Buch aber auch schlicht und einfach deshalb über so lange Zeit auf Interesse, weil der Autor sich das so ausgemalt hat. Wenn Ihnen dies völlig unplausibel erscheint, liegt das womöglich daran, dass Sie es noch nicht gelesen haben. Nach der Lektüre sehen Sie die Idee wahrscheinlich mit anderen Augen.

Within it, Allen explores the nature and origin of day-to-day problems, offering advice and insight on how to overcome difficulties and live a happier life. James Allen (1864-1912) was a British writer most famous for his inspirational poetry and being an early leader of the self-help movement. "As a Man Thinketh" (1903), his best known work, has been a significant source of inspiration for many self-help authors. Allen's 1908 book "The Life Triumphant" concentrates on mastering one's mind and desires in order to live a happier and more successful life, focusing on the ideas of "right thinking" and self-control. Contents include: "The Light that Leads to Perfect Peace", "Light on Facts and Hypotheses", "Light on the Law of Cause and Effect in Human Life", "Light on Values-Spiritual and Material", "Light on the Sense of Proportion", "Light on Adherence to Principle", "Light on the Sacrifice of the Self", "Light on the Management of the Mind", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive.

"The Way of Peace" by James Allen is the perfect book for you if you're tired of the daily noise of life and need to find peace through quiet meditation. James Allen is widely known for his more popular book, "As a Man Thinketh", however in this book more accurately reflects Allen's New Thought Movement connections. Allen explains that whatever we meditate and focus our minds on, we become. If we focus and meditate on the negative, we will become more negative. On the flip side, if we meditate on the positive, we will become more positive.This is a pocket size book so that you may take positive meditation and thoughts of peace with you wherever you go.

The Way of Peace is a New Thought book written by James Allen. Although Allen is more widely known for his As a Man Thinketh, it is the lesser known The Way of Peace (1907) which reflects more accurately his New Thought Movement affiliations, referencing as it does Christianity, Buddhism and Hinduism.The book is essentially a treatise on the importance of meditation as a 'pathway to divinity'. Whatever we meditate upon, Allen explains, we become. If you meditate upon ' that which is selfish and debasing, you will ultimately become selfish and debased'. Whereas if you meditate upon ' that which is pure and unselfish you will surely become pure and unselfish'.The book consists of seven chapters: The Power Of Meditation; The Two Masters, Self And Truth; The Acquirement of Spiritual Power; The Realisation of Selfless Love; Entering into the Infinite; Saints, Sages, And Saviors, The Law Of Service; and The Realisation of Perfect Peace. The first chapter also contains a poem, Star of Wisdom, which captures the essence of the book. (wikipedia.org)
