Into the book
The saying, “A man’s character resembles the thoughts he holds in his heart” has a broad meaning that encompasses not only the entire existence of a person, but also all conditions and situations in life.
Literally, a person is what he thinks, and personality is the sum of all his thoughts.
---p.21

The thoughts that formed a person's character led him to that place.
There is no room for chance in the ending of life.
Everything is a result of laws that cannot be subject to error.
This applies to both those who are dissatisfied with their situation and those who are satisfied.
---p.33

Whether you pursue physical pleasures or steadily work toward your goals with painstaking effort, following the desires, aspirations, and thoughts that reside deep within you and dominate you will bear fruit in the external conditions of your life.
The laws of growth and adaptation apply to everything.
---p.36

People try hard to improve their circumstances, but they neglect to improve themselves.
Therefore, we cannot help but run into limitations.
Those who are not afraid of self-sacrifice will surely achieve what they set their mind to.
This applies equally to accomplishing worldly tasks as well as spiritual ones.
---p.40

A person becomes truly human only when he stops complaining and resenting and begins to search for the hidden justice that governs his life.
---p.49

Intellectual achievement cannot be achieved unless thoughts are combined with goals.
Most people just let their boat of thought drift on the sea of ​​life.
---p.69

The will to do something comes when you realize that you can do it.
Fear and doubt prevent us from recognizing these facts, and those who nurture these feelings without driving them out are doomed to constant frustration.
---p.74

A man's strengths and weaknesses, his purity and his filth, are his own and no one else's. He created them himself and not others.
Therefore, the only person who can change them is yourself.
---p.79

“Your enemies are your own family.” Those who want to be useful, strong, and happy must stop passively accepting the flow of negative, mean, and impure thoughts.
---p.217

Passion is not power.
It is an abuse of power and a dilution of power.
Passion is like a fierce storm beating a rock battered by wind and rain, but strength is like that rock, silent and unmoving.
---p.245

Taking on challenges while thinking about dreams and growth,
The mentor of the century who will help you in your second life

The Hyundai-Kia Motors Library reported on February 15, 2013 that James Allen's "The Power of Thinking" was the most popular book recently.
Published in 1902, The Power of Thinking is a classic among self-help books that has been read for over a century.
The English version of "AS A MAN THINKETH" has never been out of print for 110 years and has sold over 20 million copies. In Japan, it was published under the title "The Law of Cause and Effect" and has been read by 450,000 readers over the past 10 years since 2003.


The Power of Great Thoughts tells us that our lives are shaped by our thoughts, and that in order to live creatively, we must continually strive to have good thoughts.
Byung-ho Gong, a business administration doctor, recommended “The Power of Great Thoughts,” saying, “It is a classic among books that argue that ‘thoughts themselves determine human destiny.’”
It is a book that fundamentally deals with the issues of thought and life.


Since the publication of "The Power of Great Thinking" in 1902, author James Allen has influenced famous self-help authors in Europe and the United States, including Dale Carnegie, Norman Vincent Peale, Al Nightingale, Napoleon Hill, and Augman Dino, and has served as a mentor to many people who need self-improvement for a better life.
In this book, author James Allen provides the basics of what and how to grow to achieve your dreams and success.


This book contains reflections on the process of completing one's life according to one's own thoughts, and the author James Allen talks about the thoughts we should have, the joys we can feel, and the difficulties we will face when we try to govern our lives according to our will.
In just one book, we can receive coaching in all the intellectual, emotional, and technical areas needed to create our own creative lives.



Have good thoughts (knowledge)
Know how to be patient
You have to put in effort (skill)

“One thought led him to that place.
“There is no room for chance in the ending of life.”

When faced with difficult challenges, we put a lot of effort into improving the situation, but we neglect to improve ourselves.
When we see people who have won the lottery or are rich, we tend to think that it was just luck that got them there and move on.
James Allen points out that this habit of thinking makes our lives like slavery, and advises us to realize that the thing we can realistically change most easily and quickly is not external circumstances, but ourselves.
This is something you need to know intellectually.


On an emotional level, James Allen values ​​patience above all else.
The bigger you dream, the more patience you need.
Perseverance teaches us that there is self-sacrifice in the effort to succeed, and that within the heart of a successful person lies a time of patience and self-sacrifice, and that we need to empathize with that.
James Allen says that both material and spiritual success come with a corresponding sacrifice.
What I am saying is that the sacrifices that come with material success are not less valuable than the sacrifices that come with spiritual success.
In the effort to change oneself, sacrifices are of equal value in that they must be made by oneself.


James Allen also explains in detail how efforts should be made to live a truly creative life.
You must combine your thoughts and goals. If you dream of great success, you must diligently do even the smallest things to build your patience. If you are a manager, you must not expect anything from the manager, but rather understand what the manager wants and solve it first. Success is always followed by self-sacrifice.



Great thoughts are unshakable forces

People say that passion is needed for change, but James Allen says passion is not power.
“Passion is not power; it is an abuse of power, a dilution of power.
Passion is like a fierce storm beating a rock, but power is like that rock, silent and unmoving.” In order to become the master of one’s own life, one must keep good thoughts and make a continuous effort to put those thoughts into practice.
Rock-like silence is necessary to transform confused thoughts into peaceful ones, and weak thoughts into strong ones.
In other words, just as a rock alone does not move, for a person to become the master of his or her own life, one's own attitude is most important.
James Allen says that the ultimate stage of self-development is to achieve balance with everything in the world by controlling oneself in this way.


Additionally, "The Power of Great Thinking" is a revised edition of the book published in 2005, and is combined with James Allen's other book, "The Wisdom of Living Happily."
In "The Wisdom of Living Happily," the content of "The Power of Great Thoughts," which is based on deep reflection, is explained using specific examples.
