As A Man Thinketh: Three Perspectives - Softcover

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

James Allen was a British philosophical and inspirational writer best known for As a Man Thinketh, one of the foundational texts of modern self-help and New Thought-influenced personal development. Born in Leicester, England, in 1864, Allen wrote with unusual clarity about the relationship between thought, character, conduct, and circumstance. His work helped establish the enduring idea that disciplined inner life and purposeful thinking shape outward achievement, moral strength, and personal destiny.

Robert Collier was an American author and publisher whose writings on mental power, prosperity, faith, and success became widely read in the early twentieth century. Best known for The Secret of the Ages and The Robert Collier Letter Book, Collier wrote in the tradition of New Thought and success literature, combining practical ambition with the belief that thought, imagination, and conviction influence opportunity and achievement. His work remains important to readers interested in prosperity philosophy, positive thinking, and the roots of modern motivational writing.

Orison Swett Marden was an American author, editor, and founder of Success magazine, and one of the central figures in the development of inspirational and success literature. His books, including Pushing to the Front, An Iron Will, Cheerfulness as a Life Power, and The Victorious Attitude, emphasised courage, optimism, perseverance, character, and self-command. Marden's influence reaches across New Thought, classic self-help, motivational literature, business success writing, and the broader history of American personal growth.
