James Allen

 Although his book, As A Man Thinketh, has inspired millions around the world and been a major influence in the self-improvement industry, very little is known about its author, James Allen.   He was born in Leicester, England in 1864 and worked as a personal secretary for an executive of a large English corporation until  1902.  At the age of 38 he “retired” to writing and moved with his wife to a small cottage at Ilfracombe, England.  He penned more than 20 works before suddenly passing away at the age of 48.

As A Man Thinketh has influenced many contemporary writers including Norman Vincent Peale, Earl Nightingale, Denis Waitley and Tony Robbins, among others.

His “little volume”, as he called it, has been translated into five major languages, inspiring millions of readers to recognize that man’s visions can become reality, simply through the power of thought.
