The Life Triumphant

Mastering the Heart and Mind

De: James Allen

Narrado por: Barry J. Peterson

From the Foreword:

Every being lives in his own mental world. His joys and sorrows are the creations of his own mind, and are dependent upon the mind for their existence. In the midst of the world, darkened with many sins and sorrows, in which the majority live, there abides another world, lighted up with shining virtues and unpolluted joy, in which the perfect ones live. This world can be found and entered, and the way to it is by self-control and moral excellence. It is the world of the perfect life, and it rightly belongs to man, who is not complete until crowned with perfection. The perfect life is not the faraway, impossible thing that men who are in darkness imagine it to be; it is supremely possible, and very near and real. Man remains a craving, weeping, sinning, repenting creature just so long as he wills to do so by clinging to those weak conditions. But when he wills to shake off his dark dreams and to rise, he arises and achieves.

Great read! Something all men should listen to. I truly enjoyed listening to this book and I will be recommending it to my colleagues.

As satisfying as his other classic book.

After listening to 'As A Man Thinketh' narrated by Brian Holsopple, I began listening to that book on a daily basis, or any time that I felt like I had lost my way. It has given me a great fondness towards the man, James Allen.

To find a similarly moving book, excellently narrated by Barry J Peterson, has doubled my joy.

James Allen is without a doubt the most practical philosopher I have listened to.

The narrator is just reading.

It was difficult to get the concepts of the book because it sounded like the narrator didn’t have a conceptual understanding of what he was reading. But it was words and sounds being regurgitated. When you read James Allen, everything he says has a very specific message and intention. But the audiobook just has endless sounds coming at you without understanding and lacking intention.
