Book is the end result of enormous research, analysis, and development done by the author James Allen. At the end of his entire research, he concludes that a man is the result of his or her own thoughts. Your positive and constructive thoughts can make you touch the epitome of success, while negative and destructive thoughts can land you at the zenith of failure and depression. Basically, your thoughts are the food for your action, and in turn, your actions decide what your destiny will be. James Allen explains the entire concept of the relation between human psychologies, construction of the path for the journey called life, and ultimately the destiny of any human being in a clear and lucid manner.

Second most important point covered by the author through this book is that every human being is responsible for the construction of his or her future. We often tend to blame circumstances, friends, family, colleagues, or other secondary reasons which may have a direct or indirect contribution to our success or failure. But we forget that it is us and only us who can be the architect of our success or future. If we have an optimistic approach towards life, then energies in the entire cosmos support our cause and pave the way for our success.

The book is mainly inspired by Buddhist philosophy of life. As per Buddhist scriptures and monks, it is believed that the life of a man is the fruit of his or her own thoughts, which in turn become his or her actions.
