The title is influenced by a verse in the Bible from the Book of Proverbs chapter 23 verse 7, “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe full passage, taken from the King James Version, is as follows:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats: For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee. The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe passage seems to suggest that one should consider the true motivations of a person who is being uncharacteristically generous before accepting his generosity - while in the title and content of James Allen's work the passage is in a different context; In the Bible the passage is referring to another person, and in James Allen's work the passage is adopted to primarily refer to the reader himself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is written in terms of responsibility assumption.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe lyrics to the song Good Thoughts, Bad Thoughts by Funkadelic are loosely based on this book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book opens with the statement:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMind is the Master power that moulds and makes,\u003cbr\u003eAnd Man is Mind, and evermore he takes\u003cbr\u003eThe tool of Thought, and, shaping what he wills,\u003cbr\u003eBrings forth a thousand joys, a thousand ills: —\u003cbr\u003eHe thinks in secret, and it comes to pass:\u003cbr\u003eEnvironment is but his looking-glass.\u003cbr\u003e---From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia","brand":"WHITE DOG PUBLISHING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47080963571952,"sku":"2940011919053","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940011919053_p0.jpg?v=1763551159","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940011919053","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
