In Byways of Blessedness (1904), James Allen guides listeners away from life’s hectic “highways” and onto the tranquil, overlooked paths that lead to true contentment. While his iconic work As a Man Thinketh establishes the universal power of thought, this book is its practical companion, detailing the specific daily practices—particularly silence and compassion—that forge a serene and virtuous character.

The concept of life as a pilgrimage, or a path from ignorance to realization, is central in the writings of the philosopher and New Thought pioneer James Allen (1864-1912). According to Allen, all men must and will follow this path, at the end of which is a state of spiritual satisfaction, which can be attained only by the earnest efforts of the seeker. While progress along the path necessitates the "strenuous tread" of the pilgrim, there are also valuable opportunities for rest and refreshment.

Allen asserts that the power of each person to form his own character and create his own happiness is within. "Life is full of beginnings. They are presented every day and every hour to every person.
