Resumen del editor
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."
Reseñas editoriales
Not many authors of self-help books have had the lasting impact of British philosophical thinker James Allen (1864-1912). A century past its initial publication, his 1910 work, Above Life's Turmoil, continues to inspire.
Allen’s work is composed of 20 aphoristic essays that focus on goals like inner peace, belief, and self-discipline. In his mind, temptation can be used to explore one’s ignorance. As well, joyful people have sowed the "mental seeds" of loving thoughts that they’ve scattered generously. Allen’s advice is commonsensical but worded so poetically that it feels new.
With his rich voice, Jim Killavey strikes the right balance between enlightened calm and enthusiasm in his performance.
