About this ebook

Be Your Own Sunshine is a collection of four works by James Allen that sum up the hows, whys and whats of taming the mind and its infinite energies, of channelizing the power of positive thinking, and striking a balance between the inner world of our thoughts as against the outer world of action. As A Man Thinketh maps out the way in which our thoughts can affect our physical, mental, emotional and social health. It also discusses ways in which we can use our visions and ideas to lead us to peace of mind. From Passion to Peace is a step by step discussion on conquering the factors within us that hinder us from achieving success. Man: King of Mind, Body and Circumstance aims at freeing us from the slavery of our negative and binding thoughts, enabling us to conquer our inhibitions and set our spirit free. Foundation Stones to Happiness and Success help us lay the foundation for a stronger self, with the right balance of thoughts, speech and its implementation in action.

Ratings and reviews

It is my first self help book and it was pretty interesting. The book is divided into 4 sections.. 1)AS A MAN THINKETH 2)FROM PASSION TO PEACE 3)MAN: KING OF MIND,BODY AND CIRCUMSTANCE 4)FOUNDATION STONESTO HAPPINESSAND SUCCESS Each section contains few chapters and the author has explained each topic very well. I finished it in one sitting.

While the advice in the book is quite useful and interesting, they way it has been presented is not reader friendly. There is a lot of jargon and the language is quite complex, which causes one to lose interest in the happenings of the book. The presentation is quite bland, and the same concepts could have been explained better using graphics. Being a self-help book, it could have been better designed that could have interested more people. Overall, a decent book, that is helpful, but can improve upon its design.

The book itself is quite different from nowadays self-help books. You won’t get the real life experiences these days self-help book authors use. The write up is descriptive but informative. What I really love is he has given solutions to develop your character; your personality. You'll get the knowledge of the human nature. The book will lead you to become an ideal person if you follow the ways he mentioned though I feel like few can achieve it as it is very tough. Realism is less & idealism is more in this book which I didn’t expect. It is a very personal opinion but I’m a more realistic person so couldn’t enjoy the book more. If you are down on an emotional level then this book is the absolute medicine to cheer-up your spirit.
