Deuce reviewed As you think by James Allen
Review of 'As you think' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
Back in 1880s or later this was quite a brochure;
there was no Grant, Ferris, Vaynerchuk or Robbins, all these morons are building upon old ideas coming from Buddhism and Stoicism while packaging those for a modern-age shallow and arrogant audience;
nothing of sorts should be published after 1950s but here we go, we call the modern analogues business books;
I liked this essay, it is simple, nothing genius about it - but it is honest and back then authors were not stealing time by trying to squeeze more words to match the 'standard' format of 200+ pages which can be sold;
At the very least, in its shortness it is a very honest piece of writing.
