In As a Man Thinketh, James Allen showed how our thoughts and dreams determine the sort of person we become. In Eight Pillars of Prosperity, he reveals - in great depth and detail - the exact qualities we must meditate upon in order to achieve lasting success.

Prosperity rests on eight pillars: energy, economy, integrity, system, sympathy, sincerity, impartiality, and self-reliance. "A business built up on the faultless practice of all these principles," Allen writes, "would be so firm and enduring as to be invincible. Nothing could injure it; nothing could undermine its prosperity, nothing could interrupt its success."

This is a book of virtues for adults, distilling the wisdom of the ages in one compact volume.
