The Path of Prosperity

James Allen was a British philosophical writer known for his inspirational books and poetry and as a pioneer of self-help movement. Allen insists upon the power of the individual to form his own character and to create his own happiness. Thought and character are one he says and as character can only manifest and discover itself through environment and circumstance the outer conditions of a person's life will always be found to be harmoniously related to his inner state. Allen starts us thinking—even when we would rather be doing something else. He tells us how thought leads to action. He shows us how to turn our dreams into realities. We become spiritually rich Allen writes when we discover the adventure within; when we are conscious of the oneness of all life; when we know the power of meditation; when we experience kinship with nature.
