How does one achieve purity of mind that alone brings happiness and confidence?The author offers his clear answers in this book As A Man Thinketh. His words have helped millions for more than a century--and they continue to point the true way to a better life for a troubled humanity.Book Two: "The Mastery of Destiny" embodies James Allen's teachings that our thoughts can be used to increase our capabilities and to create our lives as we desire them to be. Allen tackles a number of pivotal topics in this short tome, including the Law of Cause and Effect (the Law of Attraction), breaking bad habits, and the joy of accomplishment. To Allen, "characteristics are fixed habits of mind, the results of deeds. An act repeated a large number of times becomes unconscious, or automatic- that is, it then seems to repeat itself without any effort on the part of the doer, so that it seems to him almost impossible not to do it, and then it has become a mental characteristic."
