From Poverty to Power: The Realization of Prosperity and Peace

Man's search for happiness seems sometimes to be unending, and yet one that we know is achievable. There are so many people in the world that become both happy and prosperous, and yet so many others who live lives of abject misery. All too often the search for happiness is centred on money and looses the true focus of prosperity. We seek gratification, thinking that we will find happiness, but all we really find is a distraction from our inner misery. It is often said that money does not buy happiness and this is true, but neither does poverty. The real aim is for prosperity, which ultimately comes from within. It is not possible to find the inner happiness in the outer world, just as prosperity cannot be found in a bank account; both are the product of a joyous heart, a soul filled with love of life and love of self. The search for money is unnecessary when you find the emotional prosperity within, for the outer world is but a reflection of the inner world, the thoughts, loves and fears that drive us. In this book, James Allen leads us through the winding pathways of the soul to prosperity and power - not the power to subjugate others, but the power to liberate yourself and release the wealth of the limitless potential within.
