From Poverty to Power

by James Allen

Allen's first book, in two parts: the path to prosperity (through self-mastery and service) and the way of peace (through meditation and selflessness). The seed of everything he wrote.

Three things you will actually use

  1. Poverty of circumstance follows poverty of mind, he argued.
  2. Self-mastery precedes prosperity.
  3. Peace is the greater power.

Do this first

Read 'The Lesson of Evil' and 'The Way Out of Undesirable Conditions'.

Our verdict
