James Allen 
The Way of Peace 

First published in 1907, 'The Way of Peace’ is a
New Thought book written by 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 saviors; the law of service; and the realization of perfect peace.
