6 key ideas, each explained in our own words.

As a Man Thinketh

  1. IDEA 1

    Thought shapes character

    Allen argues that a person's character is the sum of their habitual thoughts. To change your life, start by changing what you dwell on.

  2. IDEA 2

    The mind as a garden

    The mind is like a garden that will grow something either way. Tend it deliberately by weeding out harmful thoughts and planting useful ones.

  3. IDEA 3

    Circumstances reveal us

    Allen suggests circumstances reflect inner states more than they create them. Look inward before blaming outer events.
