About this eBook

"Fill your mind with all peaceful experiences possible, then make planned and deliberate excursions to them in memory. You must learn that the easiest way to an easy mind is to create an easy mind. This is done by practice, by the application of some such simple principles as outlined here. The mind quickly responds to teaching and discipline. You can make the mind give you back anything you want, but remember the mind can give back only what it was first given. Saturate your thoughts with peaceful experiences, peaceful words and ideas, and ultimately you will have a storehouse of peace-producing experiences to which you may turn for refreshment and renewal of your spirit. It will be a vast source of power."

Norman Vincent Peale, an American minister and author, was a progenitor of the theory of Positive Thinking. Born in Bowersville, Ohio, Peale graduated from Bellefontaine High School. He earned degrees at Ohio Wesleyan University and Boston University School of Theology. He was brought up as a Methodist and was ordained as a Methodist minister in 1922. A decade later, Peale changed his religious affiliation to the Reformed Church in America in 1932, and thus began his 52-year tenure as pastor of Marble Collegiate Church in Manhattan. In 1935, Peale also started a radio program, “The Art of Living”, which lasted for 54 years and gained immense popularity. He was a copious writer, and his most widely read book, The Power of Positive Thinking sold around 5 million copies. Peale also cofounded The Horatio Alger Association along with Peale Center, Guideposts Publications, and the Positive Thinking Foundation, all of which aim to advance Peale’s theories of Positive Thinking.

Ratings and reviews

This book is incredibly powerful. I've read half of it an the verses have been super inspirational and help me with difficult task. However, this is not something I recommend to people that live on a fixed income. It's only positive if you let it be positive. I will not be finishing this book. Three stars.

when i red fisrt time its looked so boring but i did'nt give up and red it couniusly then i saw its a great book for positive thinking i all of i say that if anyone want make carrer in any field if anyone apply formula that have been given it will work

This is more than an experience, it's more like a journey. It's really hard on my own believing that I always have the answers to my problems through God.God has blessed us through the author of this book, I have hope, believe and I am energized. I alway read the Bible but never knowing it's power coz I was reading it like a normal book even my prayers are just normal, mostly I pray every night but I have felt the wisdom of God now I have to communicate with God feel his presence as I pray I know he always listening. Praise the Lord in Juses name Amen.
