“Dreams are the seedlings of realities.”

Underline it in the book. In the You.Prjct app, a line from this volume meets you on today’s invitation.
A ruled margin beside the text, four lines at the foot of every page, and the Notes leave their last page open under the thing they ask you to do. A chapter opening and a Notes close, as printed.
You keep waiting for your circumstances to change. Allen's answer is severe and freeing: they are the harvest of what you have been thinking. Change the seed, and the harvest follows.
Written in 1903 by a quiet Englishman, this little book has outlived every loud thing published beside it. Allen’s claim is simple and severe: your thoughts are seeds, and the life you are living is their harvest.
It closes with an essay on the life he led.

The portrait is printed on the back cover. Turn the book over, above, to meet him.
The outside follows the inside.
You.Prjct is for the extra work: the lift nobody assigned, the hour with a book that nobody sees. The reading sits next to the training on purpose. A barbell does not lie about the body. A book like these does not lie about the rest of you, and the rest of you decides what the training is for.
Black covers, a metal emblem, one range across every spine. We made the outside beautiful because of what happens on the inside. A life works the same way: put the interior in order and the rest of it follows. If that is the work you are already doing, these were made for you.
Every one closes with the Notes, and a page left open under the thing they ask you to do. Read the rest with a pen.
