Born November 28, 1864 in Leicester, England, James Allen had a major impact on the self-help movement and is well known for his inspirational books. His wife was quoted as saying that he wrote facts which he had proven by practice. "Think good thoughts, and they will quickly become actualized in your outward life in the form of good conditions." I invite you to sit back in a comfortable chair, perhaps with a cup of hot tea, and enjoy one of the most widely-read books on the power of thought ever written. Thoughts can change your life. Reading this book may give you the keys to changing those thoughts so that you can shape your outward life as you will.
