As a Man Thinketh (Large Print Edition) Paperback – Large Print, June 28, 2013

This is a great book to read! It goes along with the book of Ecclesiastes from the Bible.

The book is about 25 pages. I thought it would not take very long to finish reading it. But the book is so intriguing, and I spent more time thinking about what I learned from each chapter than I expected. Here are the key highlights from each chapter.The first chapter is about thought and character. Essentially, our character is the complete sum of all our thoughts. Act is the blossom of thoughts, and joy and suffering are its fruits. Good thoughts bear good fruit, bad thoughts bad fruit.Effect of thought on circumstances. Our minds are like a garden that may be intelligently cultivated or allowed to run wild. The outer conditions of a person's life will always be found to be harmoniously related to his inner state. One cannot choose his/her thoughts, yet surely, shape his/her circumstances.Effect of thought on health and the body. The body is the servant of the mind. It obeys the operations of the mind. Strong, pure, and happy thoughts build up the body in vigor and grace. Clean thoughts make clean habits. Protect your body and guard your mind. Renew your body and beautify your mind.Thought and purpose. Until thought is linked with purpose, there is no intelligent accomplishment. One should conceive of a legitimate purpose in his/her heart and set out to accomplish it. To cut away aimlessness and weakness, begin to think with purpose.The thought factor in achievement. All that a man or woman achieves, and all that she fails to achieve, is the direct result of his own thoughts. There can be no progress and no achievement without sacrifice. S/he who would accomplish little must sacrifice little; s/he who would achieve much must sacrifice much; s/he who would attain highly must sacrifice greatly.Visions and ideals. To desire is to obtain; to aspire is to achieve. Your vision is the promise of what you shall one day be; your ideal is the prophecy of what you shall at last unveil. In all human affairs, there are efforts and results, and the strength of the effort is the measure of the result.Serenity. Calmness of mind is one of the beautiful jewels of wisdom. Self-control is strength; right thought is mastery; calmness is power. The more tranquil a man becomes, the greater his success, his influence, and his power for good.

There are very few locations that support the Greatness of Humanity with direct application in as few words as found here in this very short read. Life structure of the individual described here is a must read for every person at any age. Golden rules to create you a reality of whatever you put your hand to do. I have read this book 50 or more times and bought the Audible version also.Read It and see the Amazing relationship with SELF, Transform.100% Recommended.

Excellent book. I’m just not used to reading books of an order writing style. So I had to read more slowly and carefully. It probably helped me better grasp the truths.

Great read. Not a very long book. Can help redirect your mindset.

This book is awesome, it allows most people to think that I don't have control of my life to I have all of the control. We make what we think essentially what it's talking about. The words are a little old timey but its a great read if you can look past it. I had a hard time reading at first but there is a free audiobook on youtube that I was following along to.

Short read but very thoughtful 👌 The author does an excellent job of providing information to have the right mindset.

Insightful but very short, for only a few bucks I’d say it wasn’t a bad buy. Ultimately it is a short read but conveys a strong message.
