We've all heard that if we don't like the weather just give it five minutes and it will change. This short story by humorist Mark Twain may have been the origin of the idea. Twain seems convinced that no weather is more varied than in New England. No forecast is so difficult to claim as true as New England. Then again, each region could make the claim and be proud of their prognostication.

Do you want to know how an ordinary person like you can get extraordinary results? How can you learn to truly claim and exercise your power? How can you turn negative situations into positive ones? In As One Thinks, Patrick J. Dailey answers these questions and more. Through deeply moving stories, provocative new arguments, life-changing quotes, and the re-imagination of James Allen’s As a Man Thinketh, he presents a powerful manifesto for how you can claim the driver’s seat of your life and create a great future for yourself.

What a coincidence. The mummies wake up once a millennium, and who should stumble into the pyramid but our hero? This is a fun little story about a British ne'er-do-well who has found possible wealth and prosperity by becoming engaged to the rather plain - and plain is a nice word for it - daughter of a new English nobleman. But wait. He wanders into the pyramid when the mummies have their 24 hours of life once a millennium, and he falls madly in love with the Pharaoh's daughter, who is some 6,000 years old.

Dans As a Man Thinks, Patrick J. Dailey répond à ces questions et plus encore. À travers des histoires profondément émouvantes, de nouveaux arguments provocateurs, des citations qui changent la vie et la réimagination de As a Man Thinks de James Allen, il présente un manifeste puissant sur la façon dont vous pouvez revendiquer le siège du conducteur de votre vie et créer un grand avenir pour vous-même. Ce guide étape par étape est à la fois spirituel, informatif et motivant.

Möchten Sie wissen, wie ein gewöhnlicher Mensch wie Sie außergewöhnliche Ergebnisse erzielen kann? Wie können Sie negative Situationen in positive Situationen umwandeln? In Wie man denkt beantwortet Patrick J. Dailey diese Fragen und mehr. Durch tief bewegende Geschichten, provokante neue Argumente, lebensverändernde Zitate und die Neuinterpretation von James Allens As a Man Thinketh präsentiert er ein kraftvolles Manifest, wie Sie das Steuer Ihres Lebens in die Hand nehmen und eine großartige Zukunft für sich schaffen können.
