As A Man Thinketh is a very short book, with a very short summary. At first I thought it’s best to just get the book and read it in one go, but come to think of it, I’d use this summary as a guideline and look into it to get a better grip on things, as the language in the book can be quite complicated, simply because it’s so old. I have since read the book and can recommend that too in full, though. It’s still a short read and worth reading through at least once in your life.

What does that mean? You might see your life as mostly determined by external factors. The weather, the economy, politics, your co-workers, your boss, whether you have good luck or bad luck, your life depends on so many things you can’t influence.
