詹姆斯•艾倫(James Allen)被喻為20世紀文壇最具神祕色彩的心靈撫慰作家、「人類文壇上最閃亮的鑽石之一」、影響日本「經營之聖」稻盛和夫一輩子的人生哲學之父。就連美國前總統歐巴馬、美國前國務卿萊斯、英國前首相卡梅倫都是他的的忠實讀者。
詹姆斯•艾倫一系列著作累積銷售逾1000萬,翻譯逾43種語言,《你的思想決定業力》(As A Man Thinketh)是他最著名的代表作,《出版週刊》讚譽這本書是「人生第二聖經。」
美國放克樂團「放克瘋」(Funkadelic)1974年的專輯《Standing On the Verge of Getting It On》的〈Good Thoughts, Bad Thoughts〉歌詞,據傳就是以詹姆斯•艾倫《你的思想決定業力》一書的概念為基礎靈感。
現在就來看看這首〈Good Thoughts, Bad Thoughts〉的歌詞吧!謝謝林許迦恆的歌詞翻譯啊!
