Foundation Stones to Happiness and Success

by James Allen

Overview

Duty. Economy. Honesty. Liberality. Self-control. These are the building blocks of a prosperous, joyful life, according to James Allen, one of the most popular writers in the fields of inspiration at the turn of the 20th century, and here, in this wise little book, he shares the simple, practical methods to put them into action. Allen's gentle guidance and sensible advice has been moving and motivating readers for a century, as his words continue to be as insightful and useful today as they were when they were first published in 1913. British author and pop philosopher JAMES ALLEN (1864-1912) retired from the business world to pursue a life of writing and contemplation. Best known for As a Man Thinketh, he authored many other books about the power of thought including The Way of Peace, The Mastery of Destiny, and Entering the Kingdom.

About the Author

Allen was 15 when his father, a businessman, was robbed and murdered. He left school to work full-time in several British manufacturing firms to help support the family. He later married Lily L. Allen and became an executive secretary for a large company. At age 38, inspired by the writings of Leo Tolstoy, he retired from employment. Allen — along with his wife and their daughter, Nohra — moved to a small cottage in Ilfracombe, Devon, England to pursue a simple life of contemplation. There he wrote for nine years, producing 19 works. He also edited and published a magazine, "The Light of Reason".
