{"product_id":"2940013469488","title":"What You Think Is What You Get: The Wisdom of As A Man Thinketh for the 21st Century","description":"As A Man Thinketh by James Allen was published in 1902 and quickly became one of the founding documents of what later came to be called the “Human Potential Movement.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJames Allen’s thinking is the father of Think and Grow Rich and a profound influence on Dale Carnegie. He is the grandfather (or maybe the great-grandfather) of Tony Robbins’ philosophy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHis wisdom is as relevant today as it was when he first put these ideas to paper over a hundred years ago.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd yet, today, few people read James Allen. Why?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne reason is that 'As A Man Thinketh' was written in a florid, “high-falutin’” prose style that was fashionable at the turn of the last century. It told people that the material was serious and meant to be given due respect. It was Allen’s way of assuring people that he was no snake oil salesman, but the profound thinker he was.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTimes change. Today we like our information and our inspiration straight from the shoulder in simple prose with no unnecessary embellishment. Just the facts, ma’am.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo in \"What You Think Is What You Get: 'As a Man Thinketh' for the 21st Century\" author Kelly Monaghan has reimagined Allen's inspirational message as if it was written yesterday. He has chucked out the pseudo-Biblical, sermon-like language. He has changed the passive tense in which most of the original book was written and directed the message directly at You, the reader.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat once read like theory now becomes a series of actionable steps you can take to achieve success in your business and personal lives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book consists of seven chapters:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter One: Thought and Character\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Two: Effect of Thought on Circumstances\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Three: Effect of Thought on Health and the Body\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Four: Thought and Purpose\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Five: The Thought-Factor in Achievement\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Six: Visions and Ideals\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Seven: Serenity\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This volume is an attempt to bring the timeless wisdom of James Allen to the twenty-first century reader by stripping away the fancy prose style and letting the simple wisdom of James Allen shine through,\" says the author. \"I hope you enjoy it and profit from it.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNote: Sometimes Allen resorted to poetry. This retelling leaves his poems as they are, in italics, and then paraphrases them for the modern reader.","brand":"HomeTravelAgency","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47145685647600,"sku":"2940013469488","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013469488_p0.jpg?v=1763581895","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013469488","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
