Do you think
that positive thoughts are a magnet for positivity in your life?
Be Your Own
Sunshine by James Allen is a collection of 4 of his
works, As a Man Thinketh, From Passion to Peace, Man: King of Mind, Body and
Circumstance & Foundation Stones to Happiness and Success. The book
sums up the hows, whys and whats of energizing your brain and tapping into the
power of positive energy and maintain a balance between our inner self and the
outer self. Each of the 4 parts of the book deal with a specific aspect and at
the end of the book, you can channelize the positivity in you.
The book is an
amalgamation of various ideas to train one’s thoughts to affect their physical,
mental, emotional and social health in a positive manner. In the first part of
the book, the author talks about how to manage internal factors in order to be a
successful person and harness the internal energy of one’s being to achieve a
peaceful mind. In the second part, the author details the various intrinsic
factors that are a speed breaker in one’s life, and how to manage them to
achieve one’s goal. Moving to the third part of the book, once we have
identified the issues internally, it talks about steps as to how to beat them
and be free. In the fourth and last part of the book, one learns the implementation
and of balance of thoughts and speech and how to better implement the points
explained in your own life.
While the advice
in the book is quite useful and interesting, they way it has been presented is
not reader friendly. There is a lot of jargon and the language is quite complex,
which causes one to lose interest in the happenings of the book. The presentation
is quite bland, and the same concepts could have been explained better using
graphics. Being a self-help book, it could have been better designed that could
have interested more people.
Overall, a decent book, that is helpful, but can improve upon its design.
