Before the global sensation As a Man Thinketh, there was From Poverty to Power (1901), James Allen‘s first and, in his view, more significant work. Unlike other books, it was written while he was still working as a journalist, and before the success of As a Man Thinketh. Written with an energy and directness that defined his emerging philosophy in its earliest stages, this book presents a foundational exploration of spiritual law that Allen felt his later, more popular work only hinted at.

In his 15th book, the author of As A Man Thinketh lays out the eight core characteristics required for growing lifelong prosperity. For each of these pillars, Allen explores the component parts of the pillar, building up a solid foundation for your existence that can weather any storm and emerge from it better and stronger.
