James
Allen
was born in Leicester, England in 1864. After leaving school at
the age of fifteen to support his family, Allen worked, read, and
carefully observed the world around him. It was not until he was
thirty-eight that he wrote From Poverty to Power, one of
the first motivational books. His next book, As a Man Thinketh,
established his reputation as an inspirational writer. Other books
on spirituality included The Eight Pillars of Wisdom and
From Passion to Peace. Although his writing career lasted
for only ten years, until his death in 1912, Allen produced twenty
titles that influenced millions in the same manners as the words
of Dale Carnegie and Norman Vincent Peale.

About the Author
Preface
In going through the books written by James Allen, to cull from them these "Morning and Evening Thoughts," I have felt over and over again the force of the truth contained in every page; and knowing, as I do, the writer as no one else knows him; seeing him, as I have, for many years under all circumstances,--in the hours of work and leisure, in the days of joy and sorrow, in the sunshine and in the cloud,--I know that these writings are not the words of an idle brain, nor are they gathered from other writings, nor picked up here and there, but they are the deep experiences of his own heart, and were first lived and then written. Therefore, I send forth this little book, knowing it cannot fail on its mission--knowing it is alive because it has been lived; and am confident that those who use it for daily medication, must feel its power, and realize its blessing, because it is the actual experience of an individual life.
--Lily L. Allen.
