And that’s precisely what this book did. As a Man Thinketh by James Allen, when this book was written, I was -94 isn't that crazy.

as a Man Thinketh book review | James Allen

Quick Summary: Just by the Title along, I could tell this was going to be an interesting book. In a way, it’s the first book of its kind when it comes to self-help. In simple words, it's about using your mind as a tool and not as a handicap as so many off already do.
Example: I want to achieve this, then your mind says not possible. It's about using your mind to say, “how do we achieve it, and what must we do instead.”


1. If you want a little, then sacrifice a little and if you want a lot then sacrifice a lot
Story: In my family, I” ve always noticed that the people that have the must sacrifice a lot to get it and the people that had a little always said something along the lines of ( his wasting his life, while those same people were working 8 hours a day and watching tv all day )

- Overnight success: 2 things happen, they adapt and then sacrifice a lot to stay and if they don't then they fade
Example: I know people that upload a video and 500k and then 4 months later are only getting 300 views.
Everything involves an aspect of luck. ( But luck only comes to the person that attracts it)

2. People think the rich are bad and the poor are honest\pure
Example: Rich and poor family you have
But in reality, this is a twisted concept, the poor man might be better with his family, but also have bad habits and lack of habits that keep him from wealth
The rich man: has those habits and is willing to make those sacrifices, and he might be just honest as the poor guy and just as good with family; it just depends.

Idea: Idea is that you want to be indifferent to choosing a side, but instead understand both sides.

3. People would spend a lot of money to acquire health but not in making the changes needed to have it ( they don’t deserve health)
Example: I had a family member that wanted both health, and to keep being unhealthy, it didn’t work out.
I know a few people that know to acquire good health the key is, eat healthy food and exercise its simple
But they instead: take diet pills, bypass, surgery, and all this stuff just to look healthy, because they want to keep engaging in bad habits, bad thoughts and also have health ( these people don’t deserve health )




4. You attract what you are not what you want
Story: You’ve probably heard this story before; whatever you want, you to have to want it really hard, and then you'll attract it to you. ( however theirs a missing piece to that, and its that you have to become the person that would deserve what you want)

Example: If you go back enough into my youtube video, you could tell that I was fat, and I had consistency problems. But the minute I started doing the things required to get what I want it started happening. ( youtube post every day, health workout and eat better)

5. Good comes from good and bad comes from bad
Example: In the book, he says in the real world, we know oranges come from orange trees and apples from apple trees. But in our minds, we think success is going to grow from unsuccessful thoughts and actions ( and the worst thing sometimes people don’t realize the thought they are having )

6. You cant help people
- Until they help themselves
Example: Sometimes, you want to help someone, and no matter how much you try, it just doesn’t work. You can go through hints, but it won't make a difference until that person wants to help themselves. It's like the airplane
- Until they work towards becoming what they admire the most
Example: I think we all share this same mindset in some way, we look up to a person, and we want what they have but are not willing to do what they do. And even they tell you exactly what to do, you’ll want them to hold your hand through it.

Final thoughts
This entire book is about planting seeds, the correct seeds in your mind
