Morning and Evening Thoughts

In Morning and Evening Thoughts, James Allen -- considered a founding father of the self-help genre -- offers a month's worth of 'morning and evening thoughts,' small and beautiful meditations for each day. Each meditation, one for the morning and one for the evening, is a sweet nugget of wisdom and spans a vast range of subjects including love, prosperity, dreams, the mind, desire, suffering, rest, silence, and stillness. Allen's wisdom has a certain gravitas and is all the more inspiring given his challenging and inspiring life story. Born in England in 1864, Allen had to begin working at the age of fifteen after his father was murdered while seeking work in America. Allen thus worked for nine years as a factory knitter, then secretary. Pair this with Allen's other timeless classics such as As A Man Thinketh and Eight Pillars of Prosperity.
