   𝑵𝒂𝒎𝒆: Be your own Sunshine𝑨𝒖𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒓: James Allen𝑮𝒆𝒏𝒓𝒆: Self-Help, Motivational𝑷𝒖𝒃𝒍𝒊𝒔𝒉𝒆𝒓: @srishtipub𝑭𝒐𝒓𝒎𝒂𝒕: Paperback𝑷𝒂𝒈𝒆𝒔: 150𝑴𝒚 𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐𝑺𝒚𝒏𝒐𝒑𝒔𝒊𝒔: This book is a compilation of four works by pioneer in motivational literature, James Allen, vizAs A Man ThinkethFrom Passion to PeaceMan: King of Mind, Body and CircumstanceFoundation Stones to Happiness and Success𝑹𝒆𝒗𝒊𝒆𝒘: This is truely one of the best quick reads in motivational literature. As mentioned earlier, there are four works of the author. In the first work, the author describes in detail how man is influenced by his own thoughts. A man is what he thinks. It is beautifully explained how foolish thoughts leads to foolish action thus affecting life, and how positive thoughts will bring positive effects on life. The author discusses ways on how a man can shape his life, his own destiny and even his own body by shaping his own visions and and ideas. In the second work, the author breaks down the steps that help us to conquer the factors that are stopping us from achieving our dreams. This is also the theme of the third work. In the fourth work, the author has talked about how we can make for a stronger self. The basic point of the book is that ultimately it depends upon man himself on how he improves his life quality.The author has used different literary devices like imagery, alliteration, allusion and epistrophe, thus making the reading journey extremely pleasant. The facts that the author has stated in the works, are plausible and are practical. We can instill these words in our mind and truly try to make our lives better. Though that these works were written back in the early 1900s but his words are still relevant to this day. I am thankful to the publishing house who thought of compiling such impacting works.There are some parts that may feel repetitive, but keep in mind that these four were separate works that were originally published separately. So there are bound to be overlapping parts.Take your time reading the book. Savour each word. And if possible, halt after each segment. Let the words sink in. I recommend this book to readers of all ages.

   A collection of four works, this book stresses on channelizing the thoughts in such a way that all vices are eliminated. Allen mentions that the human mind is like a garden which can either be ‘intelligently cultivated or allowed to run wild’. If one doesn’t care enough to sow useful seeds, the weeds will destroy the land eventually. Using beautiful analogies, Allen accomplishes the task of convincing the readers that the ‘circumstances of the outer world impact the thoughts of our inner world’. He goes on to discuss the aftermath of negative thoughts and shares how badly that affects the mental, social, emotional and physical health of an individual.In the second section, he talks about the passion for doing something. This section reminded me of IKIGAI and I found the content quite similar. He mentions how a focussed mind and a clear goal can aid in achieving success and eventually peace of mind. The third section, Man: King of Mind, Body and Circumstance, connects with the first section and emphasises on the use of the mind in the right way. The last section, Foundation Stones to Happiness and Success, coincides with the second section and the author proves that it is imperative to be clear-headed and be ready to make an effort to live your dreams.Be Your Own Sunshine is powerful, useful and relatable. The examples are from our daily life and thus, it seems easier to follow the author’s message. I loved the language. At times, I had to refer a dictionary and that, my dear friends, is what drew me to this book. The idea that deterioration of health is perpetuated through inadvertence is quite clear. The quality of the book is splendid and the content is top-notch.

   The book is good but not written in a way that it keeps you hooked. It’s hard to maintain interest while reading it.
