'As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.' —Proverbs, chapter 23, verse 7 First published in 1903, James Allen's literary essay became an inspirational classic. It shows how, in his own thought-world, each man holds the key to every condition, good or bad, that enters into his life, and that, by working patiently and intelligently upon his thoughts, he may remake his life, and transform his circumstances.
Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching (The Book of the Way) is the classic manual on the art of living.

Stephen Mitchell’s acclaimed translation is accompanied by ancient Chinese paintings that beautifully reflect Lao Tzu’s timeless words.
