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.
