Self-Help : Success

As a Man Thinketh is a literary work 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 he is.”. This book is written in terms of responsibility assumption. The book opens with the statement: Mind is the Master power that moulds and makes,/ And Man is Mind, and evermore he takes/ The tool of Thought, and, shaping what he wills,/ Brings forth a thousand joys, a thousand ills:/— He thinks in secret, and it comes to pass:/ Environment is but his looking-glass. Chapter 1 starts with the quote from Dhammapada where effect of karmas is explained. [Adapted from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/As_a_man_thinketh under the terms of the GNU-FDL] more...

How to Live on 24 Hours a Day (1910), written by Arnold Bennett, is part of a larger work entitled How to Live . In this volume, he offers practical advice on how one might live (as opposed to just existing ) within the confines of 24 hours a day. In the book, Bennett addressed the large and growing number of white-collar workers that had accumulated since the advent of the Industrial Revolution. In his view, these workers put in eight hours a day, 40 hours a week, at jobs they did not enjoy, and at worst hated. They worked to make a living, but their daily existence consisted of waking up, getting ready for work, working as little as possible during the work day, going home, unwinding, going to sleep, and repeating the process the next day. In short, he didn't believe they were really living. Bennett addressed this problem by urging these "salarymen" to seize their extra time, and make the most of it to improve themselves. Extra time could be found at the beginning of the day, by waking up early, and on the ride to work, on the way home from work, in the evening hours, and especially during the weekends. During this time, he prescribed improvement measures such as reading great literature, taking an interest in the arts, reflecting on life, and learning self-discipline. Bennett wrote that time is the most precious of commodities. He said that many books have been written on how to live on a certain amount of money each day. And he added that the old adage "Time is money" understates the matter, as time can often produce money, but money cannot produce more time. Time is extremely limited, and Bennett urged others to make the best of the time remaining in their lives. This book has seen increased appeal in recent years due to the explosion of the self-improvement phenomenon, and many have noted that the book has much relevance in today's world. In the book, Bennett offers the following advice:. ***Claim 90 minutes an evening for three eve more...
