The Way of Peace (1907) is one of James Allen’s most profound works, condensing his philosophy of inner transformation into a concise yet powerful guide. Known primarily for As a Man Thinketh, Allen here shifts his attention from the power of thought to the stillness of meditation and the cultivation of inner harmony.
Drawing on Christian, Buddhist, and Hindu traditions, Allen presents meditation not as a passive retreat, but as an active discipline leading to self-realisation, selfless love, and a life of service. The book traces a spiritual path beginning with right thinking and ending in complete unity with all beings.
The language is simple yet lyrical, making the book accessible to newcomers and still inspiring for seasoned spiritual seekers. In just a few short chapters, Allen offers a complete spiritual roadmap: purify the mind, let go of selfish desires, and enter the “secret place of the Most High” where peace abides eternally.
This public domain edition preserves the original text and offers a timeless invitation to anyone seeking a life guided by meditation, compassion, and truth.
