This book can be summed up in 3 sentences:
‘If you reflect terrible, terrible’s what you’ll get.’
‘Do the right thing.’
‘You have the power to control your mind.’
If you’re looking for self help, I recommend Dr. Laura. If you’re looking for philosophy of the mind, I recommend starting with Roger Penrose. Then again, for 2 bucks, if you just want to read some flowery english to make you feel ’smart,’ then this book might be fantastic for you. I reflect they could make more money if they place every sentence from this book on a desk calendar. so you could pull off the date and get a small message each morning.
A desk calendar would at least do something useful! The fact that there are so many positive reviews for this book caused me to sit down and read it. after completing it, I dread even more for the human race.
whatevaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

This is a excellent book, but I expected more depth from the Bible.

This is a new-age book. Before you buy this book, I recommend doing an advanced search on Amazon for all books by the publisher “DeVorss” (which is this book’s publisher). You’ll find that DeVorss publishes nothing else expect books just like this one. The reason I suggest this is so that you don’t buy this book thinking that it’s one-of-a-kind. It is, and yet, it isn’t. There are a lot of books of this sort, and so by reading this book you should fully realize that you are getting yourself into a “stream” of teachings of this sort, and it’s call New-Age philosophy. Know what you’re getting yourself into.
Now, for a fleeting tale:
“Two men were sitting on each end of a bench in a park. One was reading Proverbs, and the additional was reading “As a Man Thinketh”. The next day, the Proverbs Man set out to do an honest day’s work, with a determination to grow his assets, and to return an honest service for every man’s dollar. He exercised the fruit of the spirit, and was careful to show like and be patience wherever he went. When his might and wisdom failed him, he prayed to God, and God permanently came through with the help he needed. The As-a-Man-Thinketh guy set out the same day to reflect his way to success. He happily locked himself into his room and started to repeat the same thing over and over again in his head, “rich, rich, rich, rich, rich, rich, RICH!” And climbing into bed, he started to toss and turn, as a door upon it’s hinges. Before long, his room started to get messy, so he thought, “clean, clean, clean, clean, clean, clean, CLEAN!”
“By much slothfulness the building decayeth, and through idleness of hands the house droppeth through.” – Ecclesiastics 10:18
“The slothful desireth, but has nothing” – Proverbs 13:4, “because his hands refuse to work.” – Proverbs 21:25
Don’t use this book as a substitute for any of the following:
The presence of the Holy Spirit
1) Hard work
2) Determination
3) Wisdom
4) Faith in God
5) Prayer
6) The fruit of the Spirit
7) Salvation through Christ Jesus
“For lacking me ye can do nothing.” – Jesus

Certainly no masterful and insightful philosophical treatise on the mind or the scenery of thought – in fact, it can barely be considered philosophy at all.
While not as pitifully self-righteous and downright manipulative as so-called “self help” authors and speakers of the current age, Allen’s work simply tries as hard as it can to use language itself – rather than well expressed thoughts – to take in up it’s naive world view and simplistic understanding of consciousness. I also find it reasonably bizarre that not only does Allen not make the link between the micro and macro self-identities, he really denies environmental roles in shaping the consciousness. To clarify what I mean by this, rather than simply building the “positive” avowal of “don’t accept”, Allen makes the naive mistake of suggesting “don’t acknowledge”.
I can certainly see why young “Donald Trump wannabes” lap this stuff up and agreed that the vast majority of humanity steps through life playing make-judge anyway, I guess it doesn’t hurt to at least play positive make-judge. But, if you’re looking for an actual discourse on thought, consciousness, and being, then give this one a wide berth.

One was “As A Man Thinketh,” the additional was “Christmas Gifts, Christmas Voices.” I’d heard of the ex-, but never heard of the latter. Both books changed my life.
“AAMT” showed me that I am my worst enemy. MY negative thoughts hold me back.
“CG,CV” showed me that my actions have longlasting effects. This book made me want to try harder to do excellent.
Both books are tremendous. Allen’s Christmas book is really appropriate for year round reading, because its message transcends the holiday season.
Both books are recommended reading.
(I’m going to give both books for gifts next Christmas.)
What do you guys reflect?
