\"asamanthinketh\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“As a Man Thinketh” was published in 1902 (more then 110 yrs ago). It is now considered a classic self-help book. It is a book you have to read with an open mind. Its a very short book, can easily be read in 1 hour. This is a great little book about positive thinking and attitude.<\/p>\n

I like the features of this book that discuss personal responsibility and positive attitude towards one’s circumstances. It emphasizes on your thought. If you have good thoughts, good things will happen to you and vice versa. The Secret is better written, better explained, more practical and more relevant, but I would still recommend “As a Man Thinketh” for everyone who is curious.<\/p>\n

Best part is this book is available in public domain so you can download it from here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
