Synopsis

In As a Man Thinketh, James Allen showed how our thoughts and dreams determine the sort of person we become. In Eight Pillars of Prosperity, he reveals--in great depth and detail--the exact qualities we must meditate upon in order to achieve lasting success.

Prosperity rests on eight pillars: Energy, Economy, Integrity, System, Sympathy, Sincerity, Impartiality, and Self-reliance. "A business built up on the faultless practice of all these principles," Allen writes, "would be so firm and enduring as to be invincible. Nothing could injure it; nothing could undermine its prosperity, nothing could interrupt its success."

About James Allen

James Allen (1864-1912) was a British writer and pioneer of the self-help movement. Born to a working-class family in Leicester, England, Allen left school at age fifteen, after which he worked as a private secretary and later as a magazine writer. In 1902, he began to publish his own spiritual magazine, The Light of Reason. Over the course of his life, Allen wrote nineteen books, some of which include As a Man Thinketh, Eight Pillars of Prosperity, Above Life's Turmoil, From Passion to Peace, and From Poverty to Power.

I marked this book up a lot and liked it even better than As a Man Thinketh. It was much longer, had a lot more volume to it (in terms of thoroughness or completeness, IMO) and really set the mark high for achieving Allen's definition of "prosperity". As I gradually proceeded with each chapter, I fo......more

Allen offers a beautiful discourse on doctrines of character and integrity. Any violation of universal law must bring about just consequence, and also, reward for living its tenets without deviation. When one deviates from the pillars of prosperity, the inevitable price will ultimately be paid-- eve......more

Goodreads review by Super Devi on August 08, 2021

I did not expect life changing experience when I casually began reading this book. I thought it would be a quick pick-me-up pep talk I needed (to say goodbye to summer hangover). . however, I was wrong. Simplicity is always under-rated when it comes to profound revelations and this book was just tha......more

Goodreads review by Anthony on October 05, 2021

James Allen has some profound insights in this book! Simply amazing. The only reason it’s 4 stars instead of 5 is that I wasn’t sure I agreed with all of what he states in the book. However, most of it, the vast majority of it, is spot on!......more
