Sheriff Lamb mentioned this book as his favourite while he was talking about his experience of changing his attitude when he was struggling with money problems. He says that the book highlights how you are the master of your fate and how your life is a result of your choices and actions.

"

But really the book is about you are the master of your fate. Everything you have in your life is because of you or whatever you don't have is because of you. There is nobody else that is the artist in your life. It's you.

So if your life is not going great, it's not circumstances you blame. Circumstances only reveal to the man who he is. They don't make the man. Circumstances reveal the man to who he is.

Keep your hand firmly upon the helm of thought. In the bark of your soul reclines the commanding master. He does but sleep. Wake him. Self-control is strength. Right thought is mastery. Calmness is power. Say unto your heart, peace be still.

I will promote this book to the day I die. A guy dropped off a book, a small 70-page read called 'As a Man Thinketh' by James Allen, the most impactful book I've ever read in my life. Bar none, no comparison, and I'm very simple and ...

Reese, and after reading the book, fucking 70 times in that situation, the book kept on showing me that thoughts were things, until thought is linked with purpose. Nothing intelligent should ever happen until thought is linked with purpose. I kept on thinking to myself like, what the fuck does that mean at first, right? What a man thinks about plants in his brain. Plants his mind, he shall manifest. Whatever you can see, believe, and achieve and speak up over it shall come so true, isn't it bro? So fucking true, so simple, though.
