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".
