As a man thinketh

Reading as a man thinketh via audible has changed my thinking pattern of addressing the problems l have in my life

A Must Read

If our schools do not have our children read this book, we must. We must raise our children with all the wisdom available to us.

Clear and beautiful

Would you consider the audio edition of As a Man Thinketh to be better than the print version?

I love the comparison between mind and garden. How we grow has to do with what we choose to cultivate and what we choose to weed out. The message really resonated with me and had a strong immediate effect on my consciousness. We easily forget our own power and this is a good reminder, a small step back to get a clearer view. It's short and it is a pleasure so I'll probably listen to it again.

What does Brian Holsopple bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I think his pacing is just right.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, but I didn't seat, I went for a walk, that is why I use audiobooks.

WONDERFUL!

Everyone and their dog needs this book!

Epic book, epic narration. Must.

The title summarizes my opinion on this great audio book. Recommended without hesitation. Excellent. Thanks

A book for thought

Eye-opener, easy read. Even though this book is written so long ago it is still relatable to today’s time. I listen to the book twice because I wanted to grasp what the book had to offer. It gave me better insight about myself. It made me think from within. I highly recommend the book for it’s forward thinking.

Principles to live by

A good listen.

Short. Full of principles to live by.
Have already listened twice, and on second listen got even more.
I suspect that the more I listen, the more I will hear.
Highly recommend this book.

Loved this book

I have taken many memorable quotes to ponder upon from this book. It describes the Law of Attraction very well. #thoughtsbecomethings

Great timeless book and very good narration

What made the experience of listening to As a Man Thinketh the most enjoyable?

I like the narration. I listened to several excerpts and this is one of the best narrations for this book.

What other book might you compare As a Man Thinketh to, and why?

This book is about changing your character and have it reflect in your external circumstances. I find it more practical than some of the other 'law of attraction' books so I'll even compare it to a very practical self-help book like On Form by James E. Loehr and Tony Schwartz.

What does Brian Holsopple bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

I liked the commanding voice of the narrator compared to many other audio books I've listened to.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes

simply incredible

I listen to this book every single day. at x2 speed its just over 20min. with each day the message becomes more vivid. one of the most impactful books i have ever come across.

school curriculum

Why this book isn't part of the education system here I don't know! Such simple logic that everyone should know before the age of ten. the world would only benefit in all ways.

Positive thoughts & self determination

excellent book which i found extremely relevant despite being written about 100 yrs ago. I found it an excellent accompaniment to Full Catastrophe Living by Jon Kabat-Zinn

Love it, will listen to again and again

Exceptional book every Human being needs to hear or read!!! Absolutely sums everything up regarding our behaviour and the results we get due to our thinking. a true masterpiece!

Good refresher for LOA

Less then hour to complete and straight to the point. a good audio fo referencing on Law of attraction.

My new No1 recommendation

was an outstanding book that has opened my eyes to how people should behave and how I should look to change my own mindset. this book is the best use of an hour you will ever find

a good classic book

This book though written a long time ago contains some thought provoking nuggets of wisdom & causes you to reflect on a number of areas in life. It is a short book so quick to read, am going to re read as there was a lot to digest.
