As a Man Thinketh is one of the all-time bestselling and most widely read works in the new thought movement. Read the book that inspired The Secret with powerful quotes such as: "As the physically weak man can make himself strong by careful and patient training, so the man of weak thoughts can make them strong by exercising himself in right thinking." "A man is literally what he thinks, his character being the complete sum of all his thoughts." "Right thinking begins with the words we say to ourselves." "Every action and feeling is preceded by a thought." "The soul attracts that which it secretly harbors, that which it loves, and also that which it fears. It reaches the height of its cherished aspirations. It falls to the level of its unchastened desires - and circumstances are the means by which the soul receives its own." "Men do not attract what they want, but what they are."
