Excerpt from Wikipedia: James Allen (28 November 1864 in Leicester, England – 1912) was a philosophical writer of British nationality known for his inspirational books and poetry.
Allen’s books illustrate the use of the power of thought to increase personal capabilities. Although he never achieved great fame or wealth, his works continue to influence people around the world, including the New Thought movement.
Allen’s most famous book, As a Man Thinketh, was published in 1902. It is now considered a classic self-help book. Its underlying premise is that noble thoughts make a noble person, while lowly thoughts make a miserable person.
Although As a Man Thinketh is Allen’s most widely recognised book, it is probably The Way of Peace (1907) which most accurately reflects his New Thought movement affiliations.
Following his death in 1912, his wife continued publishing the magazine under the name, The Epoch.
