About this listen

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.

The book is structured in two distinct parts: "The Path to Prosperity" and "The Way of Peace." In the first, Allen argues that enduring external success is not a matter of chance, but the inevitable result of inward mental adjustment and growth . The second part shifts to the pursuit of inner tranquility, guiding the listener toward a state of calm beyond the reach of outer turmoil.

Conceived as "a book for all those who are in search of better conditions, wider freedom, and increased usefulness," From Poverty to Power is a concise and potent statement of the principles that would define the modern self-help movement.
