5.0 out of 5 stars Classic
Short read but very thoughtful 👌 The author does an excellent job of providing information to have the right mindset.
5.0 out of 5 stars Thought process is like gardening
The book is about 25 pages. I thought it would not take very long to finish reading it. But the book is so intriguing, and I spent more time thinking about what I learned from each chapter than I expected. Here are the key highlights from each chapter.The first chapter is about thought and character. Essentially, our character is the complete sum of all our thoughts. Act is the blossom of thoughts, and joy and suffering are its fruits. Good thoughts bear good fruit, bad thoughts bad fruit.Effect of thought on circumstances. Our minds are like a garden that may be intelligently cultivated or allowed to run wild. The outer conditions of a person's life will always be found to be harmoniously related to his inner state. One cannot choose his/her thoughts, yet surely, shape his/her circumstances.Effect of thought on health and the body. The body is the servant of the mind. It obeys the operations of the mind. Strong, pure, and happy thoughts build up the body in vigor and grace. Clean thoughts make clean habits. Protect your body and guard your mind. Renew your body and beautify your mind.Thought and purpose. Until thought is linked with purpose, there is no intelligent accomplishment. One should conceive of a legitimate purpose in his/her heart and set out to accomplish it. To cut away aimlessness and weakness, begin to think with purpose.The thought factor in achievement. All that a man or woman achieves, and all that she fails to achieve, is the direct result of his own thoughts. There can be no progress and no achievement without sacrifice. S/he who would accomplish little must sacrifice little; s/he who would achieve much must sacrifice much; s/he who would attain highly must sacrifice greatly.Visions and ideals. To desire is to obtain; to aspire is to achieve. Your vision is the promise of what you shall one day be; your ideal is the prophecy of what you shall at last unveil. In all human affairs, there are efforts and results, and the strength of the effort is the measure of the result.Serenity. Calmness of mind is one of the beautiful jewels of wisdom. Self-control is strength; right thought is mastery; calmness is power. The more tranquil a man becomes, the greater his success, his influence, and his power for good.
5.0 out of 5 stars This is a must read!
This is a great book to read! It goes along with the book of Ecclesiastes from the Bible.
4.0 out of 5 stars slow but good read for me
Excellent book. I’m just not used to reading books of an order writing style. So I had to read more slowly and carefully. It probably helped me better grasp the truths.
5.0 out of 5 stars A true distillation of wisdom
How is it that I am 31 years old and only now reading this? What seems most refreshing about this book, despite its age, is the refinement of ideas that clearly endure. We find ideas as ancient and enduring as those found in The Bible and the philosophy of Stoicism and as contemporary as the understanding that stress and anxiety reak havoc on the body (though it should be noted the “Thought and its effect on the body” chapter should be taken with a grain of salt. There is an effortless and seamless synthesis of principles that account for a wide variety of perspectives on happiness, peace, and success. It is unfortunate that it is written in a way that portrays a “masculine” point of reference, but if one can instead think of the phrase “a man” as a collective of our species, as in ‘huMANity’ then this book is truly for everyone.
5.0 out of 5 stars Life changing
Great insight. Really puts perspective on the power of your thoughts. A must read if you really want to change.
5.0 out of 5 stars Masterful Delivery, The Zest of Success

Life structure of the individual described here is a must read for every person at any age. Golden rules to create you a reality of whatever you put your hand to do. I have read this book 50 or more times and bought the Audible version also.Read It and see the Amazing relationship with SELF, Transform.100% Recommended.
3.0 out of 5 stars Quick Read but inexpensive and worth it
Insightful but very short, for only a few bucks I’d say it wasn’t a bad buy. Ultimately it is a short read but conveys a strong message.
Excelente lectura

Bueno para practicar la lectura en inglés
Me ha gustado mucho! Lo cogí para practicar el inglés. He leído otros que se me han hecho más pesados porque eran interminables pero este está bien.
Incredible Content for its size.
Beautifully produced book with an attractive cover. The teaching in this is invaluable and concise. Indeed, I would say it is extraordinary and powerful, despite its simplicity. I believe it’s essential reading for everybody, young and old. Anybody can benefit from this and put its principles to practice. I have bought many copies for friends and will probably buy many more. These superb and clear insights can help anyone along the journey through life, and make that life a remarkable and enriching one. This book is out of copyright so many people are publishing it. I found this edition to be the best option for its attractive design and low price. This book does not profess any religious doctrine. It is a powerful ethical statement, eminently practical in its insights, for people of any faith or no faith.
