Description
1912. To the majority of people, life is a dark room where one is liable to hurt himself by coming into contact with something he cannot see. Their frequent hurts, their disappointments, perplexities, sorrows and pains are caused by sudden contact with principles which they do not see and are therefore not prepared to deal with. But, when the light of wisdom is introduced into the darkened understanding, confusion vanishes, difficulties are dissolved, all things are seen in their true place and proportion and henceforth one walks, open-eyed and unhurt in the clear light of a wise comprehension.

Person
James Allen was born in Leicester, England, in 1864. After the unexpected death of his father, he left school at age fifteen in order to help support his family. For the next twenty-three years, Allen worked, read, and observed the world around him. At age thirty-eight, he wrote From Poverty to Power, one of the first motivational books. His next book, As a ManThinketh, established his reputation as an inspirational writer. Although his writing career lasted only ten years, until his death in 1912, Allen produced twenty titles, which continue to motivate and inspire.
