James Allen

What ever is can only be accepted from a place of peace and tranquillity. Whether we are seeking peace in our lives or peace in the world the journey and the destination are the same, there can be no peace without until there is peace within. Ghandi famously said "You must be the change you want to see in the world", and in that phrase, he know that whatever you seek in the world, first be it. If you seek peace be at peace, if you seek harmony, be in harmony. In these poems James Allen raises the desire in the heart for peace in our lives and through inner peace to promote outer peace. Be the peace you seek in the world and the world will return peace to you ten fold.

When Profit from the Core was published in 2001, it became an international bestseller, helping hundreds of companies find their way back to profitable growth after the bursting of the Internet bubble. The 2007 global financial meltdown reaffirmed the perils of pursuing heady growth through untested strategies, as firms in industries from finance to retailing to automobiles strayed too far from their core businesses and suffered the consequences. In this updated edition of Profit from the Core, authors Chris Zook and James Allen show that a renewed focus on the core is more critical than ever as firms seek to rebuild their competitive advantage coming out of the downturn--and that a strong core will be the foundation for successful expansion as the economy recovers. Based on more than ten years of Bain & Company research and analysis and fresh examples from firms responding to the current downturn, the book outlines what today's executives and managers need to do now to revitalize their core, identify the next wave of profitable growth, and build on it successfully. Zook and Allen explain how companies can: * Develop a strong, well-defined core and use it to establish a leadership position * Follow the golden rule of strategy: discourage competitors from investing in your core * Assess whether your core is operating at its full potential * Uncover hidden assets in your core that provide the seeds for new growth * Find a repeatable formula to apply core business strengths in adjacent markets Building on powerful and proven ideas to meet today's formidable business challenges, Profit from the Core is the back-to-basics strategy field guide no manager should be without.

Henkisen kirjallisuuden klassikko James Allen suuntaa tässä teoksessaan katseensa aineen maailmaan ja kysyy: Miten menestys syntyy? Mille periaatteille menestys työssä tai elämässä perustuu? Vuonna 1911 ensi kertaa julkaistu Kahdeksan menestyksen pylvästä esittää ajatuksen, jonka mukaan "menestys lepää moraalin perustalla". Tätä perustaa tukevat energian, talouden, suoraselkäisyyden, järjestelmällisyyden, sympatian, rehellisyyden, puolueettomuuden ja itsenäisyyden pylväät. Näitä periaatteita valaisemalla Allen toivoi antavansa oman panoksensa "koko ihmiskunnan menestykselle." Kirja sopii erityisesti niille, joita maallinen menestys tuntuu välttelevän.

THE PATH OF PROSPERITY is a powerful self-help book, showing that positive change can occur by changing the way you think. This book will guide you in creating new attitudes and new reactions toward all challenges in life. Many of these hurdles will be overcome that would otherwise not be met wisely or with proper action. Many swear this book has changed their lives completely. Achieving real prosperity is not all about money, but includes all areas of life. Allen said, "I dreamed of writing a book which should help men and women, whether rich of poor, learned or unlearned, worldly or unworldly, to find within themselves the source of all success, all happiness, all accomplishment, all truth... and now I send it forth into the world on its mission." *** ABOUT THE AUTHOR: James Allen (1864-1912) was an Englishman who retired from the business world to pursue a lifestyle of writing and contemplation. His books are classics in the fields of inspiration and spirituality. Although best known for As a Man Thinketh, he authored several other books that deal with the power of thought including THE PATH OF PROSPERITY, EIGHT PILLARS OF PROSPERITY and James Allen's BOOK OF MEDITATION FOR EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR. *** Allen's books illustrate the use of the power of thought to increase personal capabilities. Although he never achieved great fame or wealth, his works continue to influence people around the world, including the New Thought movement.
