Duty. Economy. Honesty. Liberality. Self-control. These are the building blocks of a prosperous, joyful life, according to James Allen, one of the most popular writers in the fields of inspiration at the turn of the 20th century, and here, in this wise little book, he shares the simple, practical methods to put them into action. Allen's gentle guidance and sensible advice has been moving and motivating readers for a century, as his words continue to be as insightful and useful today as they were when they were first published in 1913. British author and pop philosopher JAMES ALLEN (1864-1912) retired from the business world to pursue a life of writing and contemplation. Best known for As a Man Thinketh, he authored many other books about the power of thought including The Way of Peace, The Mastery of Destiny, and Entering the Kingdom.
