James Allen's Law of Cause and Effect
Description
Book Introduction
A masterpiece of 'philosophy of thought' by James Allen, the 'guru of success gurus' for 120 years! How to carve out your own future without being shaken by any hardship *** The most read self-help book of the 20th century! *** An immortal classic, reprinted over and over again for centuries! *** The bible of success that has changed the lives of 150 million readers around the world! *** A success guru who influenced world-renowned figures such as Dale Carnegie, Napoleon Hill, Earl Nightingale, Bob Proctor, Tony Robbins, Kazuo Inamori, Robert Kiyosaki, and Oprah Winfrey! James Allen's book, which had a great influence on success gurus including Dale Carnegie, Napoleon Hill, Earl Nightingale, and Bob Proctor, and is in fact the first book mentioned as a recommended book by them, has been published by 21st Century Books. James Allen, who preached the immutable law of life that "you become what you think about" 120 years ago, wrote a total of 19 books during his lifetime, but during that time, only a few of his representative works were published under different titles, and most of his books were not introduced to domestic readers. This time, 21st Century Books has published three books in the form of the 'James Allen Collection', which are a collection of books he published during his lifetime, in order to properly promote the name of James Allen and his philosophy of success. The first book in the James Allen Collection, The James Allen Law of Cause and Effect, is a compilation of his masterpieces and sequels that have sold over 150 million copies in translations in languages around the world, 120 years after their publication. This book, which conveys the realization that 'thoughts are my life', or 'thoughts are the cause and life is merely the result of them', is the beginning and prototype of all the self-help books we read today. The reason why not only success writers like Dale Carnegie, Napoleon Hill, Earl Nightingale, and Tony Robbins, but also successful people like Kazuo Inamori, Oprah Winfrey, and Robert Kiyosaki recommend this book and cite it as a life book is probably because James Allen's philosophy of success, which emphasizes the great power of thought, contains truths that permeate life. This book has changed the lives of 150 million readers around the world. Now it's your turn. Let's learn the age-old teaching that everything starts in your mind and your future is determined by your thoughts. |

Into the book
This book is a record of long-term thoughts and experiences.
This is a collection of essays that have been compiled from core philosophies on the theme of 'the power of thought'.
This book is written in implicit language rather than explicit explanations.
The purpose of this book is to show you how important the values and ways of thinking you choose are.
Therefore, we must discover and realize the truth that “our thoughts and actions create our lives.”
A human being is made up of an exquisite blend of the inner self, called personality, and the outer self, called environment.
If your mind has been stained by ignorance and suffering until now, the truth you gain from this book will now allow you to approach success and happiness.
--- p.12, from the "Preface"
The adage, “People are what they think” not only describes human existence itself, but also has a comprehensive meaning that applies to all conditions and circumstances of life.
A person is literally his thoughts, and the sum total of his thoughts is his personality.
--- p.21, from “Chapter 1: Beings Who Create Their Own Destiny”
As progressive and evolving beings, humans are always in a position to learn and grow.
So, once you learn the mental lesson inherent in any situation, it passes and another situation unfolds.
As long as a person believes that he is a slave to external conditions, he is subject to the control of his environment.
But the person who realizes that he is a creative being and that he can change his environment by using the invisible soil of his mind and the seeds of his own being becomes the true master of himself.
--- p.33, from “Chapter 2: The Only Way to Change the Environment”
The body is the servant of the mind.
Whether chosen intentionally or expressed unconsciously, the body simply follows the mind's actions.
If you are obsessed with immoral thoughts, your body will easily age and become sick, but if you are obsessed with pleasant and beautiful thoughts, you will obtain a young and beautiful body.
--- p.55, from “Chapter 3: Correct Values Create a Healthy Body”
Intellectual achievement can only be achieved when thoughts are connected to a goal.
Most people let their boat of thought drift on the sea of life.
But living without a goal is no different from a sin.
If you want to avoid disaster and destruction, you must stop drifting aimlessly.
--- p.63, from “Chapter 4: Designing Great Goals”
In everything humans do, there is effort and a corresponding result.
Results will follow as much as you put in the effort.
Nothing in this world happens by accident.
Talent, ability, material, intellectual, and spiritual wealth are all the fruits of effort.
It is a completed thought, an accomplished goal, a realized vision.
--- p.90, from “Chapter 6: Commonalities of Those Who Achieved Their Dreams”
A person who maintains composure has learned to control himself, and therefore knows how to adjust himself to others.
Then, people will respect his mental strength, emulate him, and feel that he is a trustworthy person.
The more peaceful a person's mind is, the more successful he or she becomes, the more influential he or she becomes, and the more powerful he or she becomes in directing his or her life in the right direction.
Even an ordinary businessman will see his business prosper if he develops self-control and composure.
Because people always prefer to deal with someone who maintains a calm attitude.
--- p.96, from “Chapter 7: The Final Stage of Self-Cultivation - Peace”
The first step is to overcome the habit of using slanderous language.
This includes making up or spreading bad language about others, exposing and exaggerating the faults of others or absent friends, and dropping inappropriate insinuations into conversation.
All slander contains elements of frivolity, cruelty, hypocrisy, and falsehood.
A person who aspires to live a righteous life will check himself to avoid speaking words that slander others.
And I will try to control the hypocritical thoughts that are the root of those words.

Publisher's Review
A true classic, translated into over 50 major languages over 120 years after its publication.
“A complete capture of James Allen’s values, which changed the lives of 150 million readers.”
James Allen was a legendary author who wrote several books that are considered the beginning of self-help books, including his masterpiece, As a Man Thinks, which sold over 150 million copies worldwide, although his actual writing period was only 10 years before his death in January 1912.
His masterpiece, dubbed "the best-selling book in the West after the Bible" at the time of its publication, has been reprinted consistently for over a century and has been translated into at least 50 major languages, impacting countless lives with its powerful message.
Because of the power of the message contained in James Allen's books, his books naturally received attention immediately after their publication, but his name only began to become known after his death.
Even though he could have promoted himself sufficiently during his lifetime, he retired from his career early to protect himself from excessive wealth and worldly attention, and moved down to a small seaside town in England to spend the rest of his life writing books.
So today his true message can only be accessed through his writings.
James Allen is known as a self-help book writer, but he was also a lyric poet.
He also shows a deep interest in the prosperity of a nation and society based on individual virtue, to the extent that he left a lifelong wish in the preface to “The Eight Pillars of Wealth” to help people find the source of wealth within themselves.
Accordingly, his books are broadly divided into prose and inspirational poetry that deal with the attitude needed to develop inner strength and achieve success in life, and spiritual essays that reflect Allen's religious views. He wrote a total of 19 books before his death.
The James Allen Collection is a three-volume collection of 14 universally valued pieces from Allen's entire writings, translated and included.
Each volume contains practical writings to help you cultivate inner order, including Allen's masterpiece, The Law of Cause and Effect, and its sequel; Eight Pillars of Prosperity, a philosophy on wealth and success, and its two sequels; and Foundation Stones to Happiness and Success, Allen's final preface and his final work, along with 36 inspiring verses filled with life insights.
“Bob Proctor, Earl Nightingale, Napoleon Hill…
“Encounter Allen's powerful message, which became the foundation of modern self-development, in its original form.”
James Allen's masterpiece, The Law of Cause and Effect, is a true classic.
Few books have been so widely read, have stood the test of time so well, have influenced generations of readers so profoundly, and have conveyed such a simple yet powerful and profound message.
However, Alan said that he had no intention of publishing this book because it was such a short and trivial essay, and that it was only with his wife's active encouragement that it was finally published.
If it weren't for this book, my personal life might have been very different from what it is now.
If you trace back the list of people who have influenced today's self-improvement gurus who discuss the philosophy of success, you will always find James Allen at the end.
These gurus don't just cite Allen as an influence on themselves; they continue to spread his message to the public.
Several gurus, including Earl Nightingale, Og Mandino, and Napoleon Hill, have shared readings of James Allen's books in their own voices, some of which have been recorded and published as audiobooks.
James Allen's philosophy of success, which has transformed countless lives, has evolved into various forms today.
Among them, the most representative messages would be the success stories of the 'Secret' type or the 'Law of Attraction'.
However, since the original message of James Allen, which is the prototype of all these messages, is often lost and only the power of thought and imagination is emphasized, there are many cases where it is distorted in the process of being delivered to readers.
But as much as Allen emphasizes the power of thought and the subconscious, he also attributes the present achieved by successful people to their attitude toward life and the process they follow.
It does not ignore the value of patience, effort, and diligence, but emphasizes that there is something to be gained from pain and failure.
The James Allen Collection was designed to convey to readers the original message of James Allen, without any distortion or alteration.
The sentences are not mixed together, and the book is organized so that any essay can be read as a complete piece of writing when opened.
James Allen's core works, originals and sequels, 36 verses full of inspiration and insight.
All of Alan's sentences, which become fresher the more you read them, are gathered in one place!
The first volume of the James Allen Collection, "The James Allen Law of Cause and Effect," is a compilation of James Allen's masterpiece and its sequel, which has been translated into languages around the world and sold over 150 million copies 120 years after its publication.
It has had a great influence on self-development gurus such as Napoleon Hill, Earl Nightingale, and Bob Proctor, and is actually a classic among classics that is often mentioned first as a recommended book by them.
It contains the original and original message of all self-help books since the 20th century that emphasize inner values.
Allen also made it his life's mission to write books that would help everyone, rich or poor, educated or uneducated, secular or religious, find within themselves the source of success, happiness, fulfillment, and truth.
The second book in the collection, James Allen's Eight Pillars of Wealth, compiles books on the sources of wealth, including Allen's debut.
These books, completed at the behest of James Allen, will guide readers on the path to true wealth and prosperity.
The third book in the James Allen Collection, "The James Allen Rules of Luck," is a collection of practical and inspirational writings and poems designed to help you cultivate inner order, including his posthumous work, "The Cornerstones of Happiness and Success."
Within the refined sentences, Allen's message becomes fresh the more you read it, so it is worth reading and savoring it over and over again.
Alan's formula for success is simple and clear.
Dream, but stay awake.
We must first live diligently in the present that we can hold in our hands, not in the future that we imagine.
If you're truly following James Allen's book on success, you should be setting goals and working diligently to develop good habits every day.
Alan's message is not an empty echo, but one that touches the skin and moves hearts.
This is why we need to read Allen again today.
