From Poverty to Power is a spiritual book by James Allen, British philosophical writer, a pioneer of the self-help movement known for his inspirational books. The book is focused on the union of spiritual and physical and each chapter is dedicated to mastery of one's self with the goal to bring one closer to greatness and power. Dealing with the realization of prosperity and peace, the book is divided in two parts. The Path to Prosperity deals with achieving success in the professional path, explaining where the poverty resides and it has nothing to do with the material. The Way of Peace guides the reader on his spiritual path, bringing one closer to inner strength.
