The aphorism, "As a man thinketh in his heart so is he," not only embraces the whole of a man's being, but is so comprehensive as to reach out to every condition and circumstance of his life. A man is literally what he thinks, his character being the complete sum of all his thoughts. That is the opening of James Allen's classic bestselling self help book. This is one of the books that inspired The Secret and made The Law of Attraction such a major draw in recent years. The truth in this book is universal. The premise that your thoughts will dictate who you are and what you can achieve will prove helpful as you strive to improve every aspect of your life. You choose your thoughts and in so doing, you choose your destiny.
