James Allen was one of the most popular writers on spirituality at the turn of the 20th century, his many books comforting millions of readers with their unpretentious wisdom about living the joyful life. This little book, first published in 1909, gathers the essence of his insight into a month's worth of twice-daily affirmations and meditations culled from his many inspiring works. From the necessity of sacrifice in aiming for blessedness to the healing power of sympathy, Allen's words still sing sweetly today, a century after they were written. 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 Path to Prosperity, The Mastery of Destiny, and Entering the Kingdom.
