Audio Books by James Allen:

Above Life's Turmoil

First published in 1910. Twenty chapters which offer guidance on overcoming hardships in life.

All These Things Added

Allen's third book published in 1903. He said "All earnest Truth-Seekers should read this book."

This book is for the spiritually-minded who seek to know their supreme duty in life, and who are exercised about the problem of evil, and the mental and social inequalities around them.  It points such to the great Spiritual Realities within themselves, and reveals the way by which those Realities can be realized and known.  It shows how and in what way the Kingdom of Heaven is sought and found; and how, when found, all the necessary material things are added, and bliss and peace are assured.

Contains two books, Entering the Kingdom and The Heavenly Life.

As a Man Thinketh

Allen's second book. He described it as "A book that will help you to help yourself" and "A pocket companion for thoughtful people." First published in 1902.

Man is the creator and shaper of his destiny by the thoughts which he thinks.  He rises and falls in exact accordance with the character of the thoughts which he entertains.  His environment is the result of what he has thought and done in the past, and his circumstances in the future are being shaped and built by his present desires, aspirations, thoughts and actions.  He therefore who chooses and pursues a particular line of thought, consciously builds his own destiny.  This the book makes clear.

*If you are new to Allen and his works, you probably want to start with this book.

From Poverty to Power

Allen's first book, published in 1901. Also called The Realization of Prosperity and Peace. Allen described this book as "A Book for all those who are in search of better conditions, wider freedom, and increased usefulness."

This book appeals to the reader from his own standpoint, and indicates the line of development along which each one should work in order to accomplish the greatest amount of lasting good.  Enduring success in any direction is shown to be the result of inward adjustment and growth.  Each may accelerate his own progress by silently, but effectively harmonizing his mental forces, the good effects of which will soon become manifest in improved circumstances, and wider opportunities.

This book contains two sections that were later published as individual books: The Path to Prosperity and The Way of Peace.

The Mastery of Destiny

Published in 1909. Covers positive subjects including mind-building, accomplishment, and thoroughness.
