{"product_id":"2940012866189","title":"As a Man Thinketh - (Formatted \u0026 Optimized for Nook)","description":"As a Man Thinketh is a literary essay of James Allen, published in 1902. 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\u003e-----\u003cbr\u003eThe e-text was designed for optimal navigation on eReaders and other electronic devices. It is fully indexed, making it easier to access every chapter of the book.  Within seconds, you'll be able to read any part of the book that you want! It's been formatted for the Nook to allow you the best reading experience.","brand":"Classic Century Works","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47078995689712,"sku":"2940012866189","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940012866189_p0.jpg?v=1763573761","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940012866189","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
