Publisher's summary

Read for the first time by an all-female cast

James Allen’s revolutionary treatise on the power of thought, combined with the bonus audiobook Mastery of Destiny.

Originally published in 1903, James Allen’s As a Man Thinketh reveals the fundamental truth of human nature: “A man is literally what he thinks.” Allen’s deceptively simple principle has changed the lives of millions of readers and listeners, making As a Man Thinketh a classic best seller for decades.

Allen explains that our character, identity, ability, and success are all determined by the thoughts in our minds. Instead of finding ourselves victims of the world, there exists within each of us the ability to shape and define our own destinies. Finances, health, social status, and success are all external manifestations of the thoughts that populate our minds. Allen offers listeners an opportunity to seize control of their minds and in doing so create the lives they’ve always imagined.

This new edition combines As a Man Thinketh with another of Allen’s companion works, Mastery of Destiny. In Mastery of Destiny, Allen reveals that the natural progression of human evolution is away from the evil that results from ignorance and toward ultimate good. Combined in one program, these two audiobooks offer a revolutionary outlook of empowerment.

This program is read by: Adelia Saunders, Barrie Kreinik, Carly Robins, Eleanor Hutchins, Emily Bauer, Emily Lawrence, Fiona Hardingham, Greer Morrison, Joel Fotinos, Natalie Naudus, Sophie Amoss, Therese Plummer, Vivienne Leheny, and Xe Sands.

As You Think

I found this rendition of this 1902 book very well done. Provided great amount of background information. I also recommend the prime movie on the same title.

Highly Recommended for all.

IMO - This book is for those of us that are curious about life and it’s meaning. The connection of cause and effect and why a person thinks and behaves in ways that we might not understand. This should be required reading in schools as it helps to answer questions parents sometimes do a poor job answering for their children.

Must Focus

I tried listening to this while woodworking but it's not that kind of book. I'm gonna have to relisten when I can focus. There's great advice in this book.

Phenomenal book, disrespectful narration

I just wander,
How could you take such a phenomenal book to narrate so disrespectfully.
Some narrators, it feels like they are chewing, eating during the narration.
I’m sorry to say but it’s disgusting to hear ( Try chapter 7).
I just don’t understand why narration quality is not being checked before distribution.
It’s just disgusting to hear narrator with something in the mouth & moreover a “James Allen” book.

I’ve never expected to experience such disrespect to the listener!

Life changing

In a world where there is so much depression, sadness and failure this book speaks to us from more than a century ago. That in itself shows us that age old truths will prevail even beyond this modern technological world with all its troubles. Focus within and all will become clear

This version narrated by women.... very annoying

The information in the book is PRICELESS! Love the book but not this version. Just purchased a version narrated by a man. I find women narration to be extremely hard to listen to for very long. Same for women dis jocks. Just something about their voices that is not soothing. It just irritated my head.
I much prefer a mans voice with authority and clearness over a women's. It's weird, I love women and women voices but every time I buy a book with a women's voice I have a hard time listeining to it for any length of time. Some are not bad, maybe deeper than others. Just something my ears are sensitive too. But the information in the book is PRICELESS!
