 This is a great book
The principles taught in this book are true. It is not a book written to replace scripture or attempting to mind force future events in your life. It is a book written to explain how to have a happy and productive life, to have control over your own emotions and thoughts, and yes, it is proven that good things do happen when one goes through life with faith, hope, and a good attitude. The precepts taught in this book are not radical and are beneficial to anyone who applies them, and are completely free of bigotry towards other ideas and theories.
Very pleasant and interesting reading, thought provoking and easy to understand. I highly recommend this book to the young and to the not so young.
 New Age Crap
I read this book many times. That was in my twenties. And I believed every word. As a result I applied all the principals I learned in this book to my life. However, I still got colon cancer and my son still died at 5 years old after getting hit by a car. It was then that I found the bible. The only thing that is simular between this book and the bible is the title of the book, "As a man thinketh, so is he." However, there are thousands of scriptures that say that God is not under our control but we are under His. Jesus did not want to suffer and die. The gospels say that Jesus feared suffering so much that He sweat great drops of blood. But Jesus also prayed, "Father, let this cup pass from me. Never the less, let your will be done not mine." THAT is how God wants you to pray. Not to picture what your want to come true and then blame yourself if it doesn't happen.
Read the bible and forget this book. Just because it's old doesn't mean it's right
As A Man Thinketh (so he is)
An excellent, succinct, timeless work of philosophy very applicable to today's world with a much needed reminder of the rewards of appropriate thought and conduct.
 beautiful book
This is a beautiful book, especially for the price. It does not mention that it also includes Allen's Eight Pillars of Success, which someone may or may not want included.
