The world we see on the outside is actually a reflection of the world we build on the inside. That is the core message of Douglas Graeme McCoy’s extraordinary book As You Thinketh—a powerful modern reflection and expansion inspired by James Allen’s classic.

McCoy teaches that we are constantly building our life through thoughts—consciously or unconsciously—and redefining who we are becoming through everyday mental choices.

“As You Thinketh” is more than just another personal development book — it’s a blueprint for mastering your thinking, directing your life, and shaping your identity through inner awareness.

Written in a classic wisdom style, the book explains that:

✨ thought shapes behavior
✨ behavior shapes habits
✨ habits shape destiny

This book is a deep exploration of thought-mind connection, rewritten by Douglas Graeme McCoy in his signature ReCreation tone.

Inside the book, Douglas explains how our thinking acts like a blueprint, silently constructing our habits, decisions, relationships, emotions, and opportunities.

Thoughts Become Reality — A Core Teaching of Douglas McCoy

Douglas Graeme McCoy teaches that transformation doesn’t start from motivation, circumstances, or even desire — it starts from thought.

If thought remains limited, life remains limited.
If thought becomes powerful, life becomes unstoppable.

  • Your life is a reflection of your thoughts

  • Your identity grows from your beliefs

  • Your destiny is shaped by your mindset

Exactly what As You Thinketh teaches — and exactly what Douglas built into ReCreation.

Your Inner Dialogue Determines Your Future

The book explains that negative thinking destroys possibilities long before circumstances do.

The internal voice becomes the architect of:

🌿Change the thought, and the life must follow.
