- This edition includes the following editor's introduction: James Allen, the philosopher who pioneered the self-help genre
Originally published in 1907, "The Way of Peace" is a
New Thought book written by British philosophical writer James Allen, one of the bestselling and respected self-help authors ever.
Although Allen is more widely known for his "As a Man Thinketh," it is the lesser known "The Way of Peace" which reflects more accurately his
New Thought Movement affiliations, referencing as it does Christianity, Buddhism and Hinduism.
"The Way of Peace" is essentially a treatise on the importance of meditation as a '
pathway to divinity'. Whatever we meditate upon, Allen explains, we become. If you meditate upon ' that which is selfish and debasing, you will ultimately become selfish and debased'. Whereas if you meditate upon '
that which is pure and unselfish you will surely become pure and unselfish'.
"The Way of Peace" is your guide to the power of meditation; self and truth; the acquirement of spiritual power; the realization of selfless love; entering into the infinite; saints, sages, and saviours; the law of service; and the realization of perfect peace.
