"Light on Life's Difficulties" is a 1912 self-help book by British writer James Allen. Within it, Allen explores the nature and origin of day-to-day problems, offering advice and insight on how to overcome difficulties and live a happier life. James Allen (1864-1912) was a British writer most famous for his inspirational poetry and being an early leader of the self-help movement. "As a Man Thinketh" (1903), his best known work, has been a significant source of inspiration for many self-help authors. Allen's 1908 book "The Life Triumphant" concentrates on mastering one's mind and desires in order to live a happier and more successful life, focusing on the ideas of "right thinking" and self-control.
