As A Man Thinketh: Book summary and Review


As the title of the book suggests “The way man thinks, so he becomes”. 
This book proposes the significance of thoughts on our Life.

I would love to write a short review of this book. Download a free copy available on the online platform.


Learning of this book in the video by Sandeep Maheshwari 

This book majorly covers these following areas:
  • Thought pattern on Situation
  • Thoughts effect on Health
  • Thought alignment with purpose   
Lets discussion all these points in detail:

How thought pattern influence situations
Thoughts are the foundation of your action that has a huge impact on your life. Positive, serene, honest, and constructive thoughts produce good results. Allen has mentioned a beautiful example of a gardener where he cultivates seeds in the pot, watering it regularly,  and simultaneously, removing the weeds so that only flowers can blossom. 

The same applies to your thoughts. Good thoughts work positively on your minds. But at the same time you need to get rid of negative thoughts so that only pure, energetic, and constructive thoughts can blossom in the garden of your mind and crystallize your best destiny.

How the pattern of thoughts affect our health
The body is a follower of your mind. How the mind thinks affect the body too. Having a change in diet may have an impact on your body weight but changing thoughts shapes your mind.  A positive string of thoughts radiates your mind, while sick and diseased mentality invites melancholy in life. 
The balanced thought patterns make you age by number but rich by experience. Introspect your thoughts and dwelling on positive thoughts keeps you juvenile. This keeps you going.

How alignment with thoughts effect on Purpose 
As Allen states "strength can only be developed by effort and practice". The man with weak and selfish thoughts can make them pious and energetic, by practicing the right thinking.

Every thought has power and aligning your action with that power manifests creative force inside you.  

Conclusion Note
This book is pretty small and the impact of thoughts on Life has been summarized very well in 15- 20 pages. I hope my review of this book would help you.

Rhythm of Persistence

We are always excited to start something new. We make  PLANS,   STRATEGIES ,   INVEST TIME,   ACTION  .............................................. But, What about  PERSISTENCE??? In the beginning, you are charged to kick start what you have planned but later on, you lose PERSISTENCE as you encounter challenges and problems. You are frantic by the challenges that make you lose pace and go out of track. Later on, you come up with silly excuses find the way to exit smartly without any rational thinking. This breaks the rhythm of persistence Eventually, you end up nowhere and not being persistent becomes part of your behavior where you always fail to maintain the rhythm. "Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; There is nothing more common than talented but unsuccessful men. Wisdom will not; wisdom without reward is almost as conventional as a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated bums. Persistence and determination are omni

Why to explore yourself

      Why is discovering yourself so important?   Life is full of experiments and actions take us where we are today. Knowing ourselves takes you to another level that we have never imagined. Finding our inner core is meaningful and magnificent. My soul always vibrates to explore myself. It has become my passion to discover myself to live a satisfied, happy, and peaceful life. Now I feel we don’t know actually what and who we are but continuous exploration lands us a different version of ourselves. This journey evolves us and form new perspectives on life. It gives new dimensions to our life where there is no end. When my soul vibrates, I listen and try to find out what’s inside me trying to come out as my new version. There is something that resonates inside me. What should I name, but yes maybe “My Exploring Power” would be the best word to name it.  Many people want something but they don’t know what they want. This “Journey of Exploring Yourself” resolves what you wa
