Author: Thomas E. Finegan

Thomas E. Finegan is the biographer of James Allen, a profound thinker and author best known for his classic self-help work, "As a Man Thinketh," published in 1902. Born into adversity, Allen lost his father to violence at a young age, prompting him to support his family through various manufacturing jobs. Later, he became an executive secretary and, at 38, inspired by Leo Tolstoy, retired to a cottage in Ilfracombe, Devon, where he dedicated himself to writing and contemplation. Over nine years, he penned 19 works and edited a magazine titled "The Light of Reason," emphasizing the transformative power of thought. Though he never achieved widespread fame, Allen's insights have left a lasting legacy, particularly within the New Thought movement, as he believed that noble thoughts shape noble lives. His influence endures, continuing to inspire readers worldwide even after his death in 1912.
