James Allen wrote this little book eight years after the phenomenal success of As a Man Thinketh. His forward gives an apt description of the book "We cannot alter external things, nor shape other people to our liking, nor mould the world to our wishes but we can alter internal things - our desires, passions, thoughts,- we can shape our liking to other people, and we can mould the inner world of our own mind in accordance with wisdom, and so reconcile it to the outer world of men and things. The turmoil of the world we cannot avoid, but the disturbances of mind we can overcome. The duties and difficulties of life claim our attention, but we can rise above all anxiety concerning them. Surrounded by noise, we can yet have a quiet mind; involved in responsibilities, the heart can be at rest; in the midst of strife, we can know the abiding peace. The 20 pieces which comprise this book, unrelated as some of them are in the letter, will be found to be harmonious in the spirit, in that they point the reader towards those heights of self-knowledge and self-conquest which, rising above the turbulence of the world, lift their peaks where the Heavenly Silence reigns."

Foreword
We cannot alter external things, nor shape other peopleto our liking, nor mould the world to our wishes but we can alter internal things,-our desires, passions, thoughts,-we can shape our liking to other people, and we can mould the inner world of our own mind in accordance with wisdom, and so reconcile it tothe outer world if men and things. The turmoil of the world we cannot avoid, but the disturbances of mind we can overcome. The duties and difficulties of life claim our attention, but we can rise above all anxiety concerning them. Surrounded by noise, we can yet have a quiet mind; involved in responsibilities, the heart can be at rest; in the midst of strife, we can know the abiding peace. The twenty pieces which comprise this book, unrelated as some of them are in the letter, will be found to be harmoniousin the spirit, in that they point the reader towards those heights of self-knowledge and self-conquest which, rising above the turbulence of the world, lift their peaks where the Heavenly Silence reigns.
James Allen
1. True Happiness
To maintain an unchangeable sweetness of disposition, to thinkonly thoughts that are pure and gentle, and to be happy under allcircumstances,- such blessed conditions and such beauty ofcharacter and life should be the aim of all, and particularly so ofthose who wish tolessen the misery of the world. If anyone hasfailed to lift himself above ungentleness, impurity, andunhappiness, he is greatly deluded if he imagines he can make theworld happier by the propagation of any theory or theology. He whois daily living inharshness, impurity, or unhappiness is day by dayadding to the sum of the world’s misery; whereas he whocontinually lives in goodwill, and does not depart from happiness,is day by day increasing the sum of the world’s happiness,and this independently of any religious beliefs which these may ormay not hold.
