By: James Allen

Narrated by: Ray Porter

Length: 55 mins

Publisher's summary

James Allen's classic As a Man Thinketh. The Best-selling Classic That Inspired The Secret. As a Man Thinketh, Allen's most famous book, today is considered a classic self-help book. Its underlying premise is that noble thoughts make a noble person, while lowly thoughts make a miserable person. In As a Man Thinketh, James Allen reveals how our thoughts determine reality. Whether or not we are conscious of it, our underlying beliefs shape our character, our health and appearance, our circumstances, and our destinies. Allen shows how we can master our thoughts to create the life we want, lest we drift through life unconscious of the inner forces that keep us mired in failure and frustration.

"The Vision that you glorify in your mind, the Ideal that you enthrone in your heart-this you will build your life by, this you will become." This principle, which others have called The Secret or the Law of Attraction, was clearly and convincingly stated for the first time in As a Man Thinketh. As a being of Power, Intelligence, and Love, and the lord of his own thoughts, man holds the key to every situation, and contains within himself that transforming and regenerative agency by which he may make himself what he wills.

Ray Porter is key to this Audible

This book is great, but I have owned it twice with different narrators and the book just didn’t sink in and I wasn’t able to engage it properly. Ray Porter is one of my favorite Narrators and I think the best of all time. So when I saw he narrator a version of this book it was a must. And his narration changes the book, it clear, concise, and his readings always feel purposeful. This book has a lot to offer so multiple listens is recommended, but man Ray Porter is the man!

Best Narration Ever of This Book!

Finally, a masterful narration that does this brilliant book justice. Ray Porter is one of the greatest narrators.

A short powerful mantra

The author acknowledges at the outset that this is neither a treatise nor a how-to book. Instead, it is a declaration, a statement, a mantra regarding the fact that a person's existence begins and ends with his thoughts. If thoughts of faith and eternity, then he has the capacity for faithful and eternal life. If venal and banal, that sort of life. This is the kind of book that one may choose t revisit several times yearly due to its brevity and its focus on reminding us that as a man thinketh, so goes his life.

That's deep!

It's good to get inside your head if you are telling yourself the right things.
