Book Reviews of The Power of Positive Thinking
Book Review: The Power Within Us All
Summary: 5 Stars
I first heard of Norman Vincent Peale back in the 1970's- when I was in my late teens- early twenties. The mid-late 70's were a strange time- many people were flaunting their sexuality, "breaking all the rules" just for thrills, taking drugs and acting irresponsibly. Many good people fell into that pattern, just to be part of the "crowd". I was on the "fringe" of that group- but by 1978, realized that self-fulfillment and actualization comes not from pleasure, but from using all the gifts God has given you to achieve great and worthwhile things, helping others and living a good life.
I first read "The Power of Positive Thinking" in the early-mid 1980's and it was so refreshing and inspiring- even though it was written nearly thirty years before. I've read it many times since then- and am reading it again now. For all those people who need a "lift", some inspiration, a boost to their self-esteem, need to be "re-charged" or are fighting a problem which seems insurmountable- I highly recommend that you read this book. Yes- it has strong religious overtones- but if you can look past that and see the depth of reason and common sense within those pages- it will help you overcome obstacles you thought were insurmountable.
Peale teaches us that the gifts are within us- the power of God (you may simply choose to call it a Higher Power) is within us all- always and at all times- we simply need to let it live within us, guide us and have faith that He (the Power) will bring us to accomplish things that are good and overcome difficult situations. Faith is one of the most powerful forces in the universe- along with Love and prayer, it can overcome the most difficult barriers, the toughest challenges and the most serious problems- if we let it work within us.
No matter what challenges are in front of you now- as you read this- "The Power of Positive Thinking" can help you- and even transform your life, if you allow the Power to work within you. It's not about getting rich, having the highest paying or perfect job, getting the most attractive spouse or gaining fame- it's about living a healthy, productive, spiritual and fulfilling life, overcoming obstacles and moving forward despite great challenges. Let The Power work within you now- today.
