About the Book

What if the power of positive thinking is a trap? In As a Man Thinketh... But What If He's Wrong?, Prince Penman dismantles the myth that optimism alone can heal all wounds, exposing the hidden costs of toxic positivity and spiritual bypassing. With raw storytelling and sharp insight, Penman challenges the self-help industry's dogma, revealing how it silences grief, shames doubt, and ignores systemic struggles. From a widow gaslit by "everything happens for a reason" to an activist told to "just manifest" justice, these stories cut deep, urging us to embrace authentic living over empty affirmations. Drawing on thinkers like Rebecca Solnit and James Baldwin, Penman offers a lifeline: nuanced hope-a gritty, action-driven alternative to fantasy. Through compassionate critique, he guides readers toward radical acceptance, weaving personal growth with communal healing. This isn't another feel-good manual; it's a bold call to question, feel, and act-because true transformation begins in the messy truth. Perfect for fans of The Year of Magical Thinking or Hope in the Dark, this book is for anyone ready to reject toxic positivity and reclaim their story. Step into a wiser, braver you-start today.

About the Author :
Prince Penman is a writer, thinker, and self-described "stumbler through life's mess," dedicated to exploring how our thoughts shape the world around us. Born in a small town where stories were currency-traded over kitchen tables and porch swings-he grew up fascinated by the power of ideas, from the tales his grandmother spun to the equations scribbled in his high school notebooks. That curiosity carried him through a winding path: a degree in psychology from a state university, years as a freelance journalist chasing human quirks, and a stint teaching writing workshops in community centers, where he learned more from his students than he ever imparted. Now settled somewhere between city noise and country quiet, Prince spends his days writing, parenting, and occasionally burning cobblers in a kitchen that's seen better days. As a Mind Creates is his first book, a blend of memoir, imagination, and practical insight drawn from years of watching people-including himself-try, fail, and try again to manifest something meaningful.
