Review by Sarah for The Power of Positive Thinking: A Practical Guide to Mastering The problems Of Everyday Living (4 CD Set)

It’s such a simple and effective concept, that positive thinking creates a positive life, yet hard to do at times- which is a good reason alone to read this book.
Most everything we accomplish each day starts out as a thought. Thoughts flash across our minds each day, all day long, and directly influence how we feel and what we do. So, if you spend your day thinking about negative things, expect to feel bad. On the other hand, if you spend your day concentrating on positive things, good things will happen. And that’s basically the purposeand premise of this book- to change your thinking for the better, which in turn will influences your life. The book will “reset your sights” so to speak.
Each chapter of the book tackles important life issues, such as worrying, creating happiness, having energy, etc. Examples of the principles abound, and each chapter ends with a nice summary.
An inspiring and entertaining read, I recommend this book to anyone who needs a little nudge in the direction of positive thinking. Know though, that there is a definite religious tone throughout the book, which could bother some. Those looking for something a little more in the physical rather than cognitive realm to pick you up, might be better off with a book like Exercise Beats Depression.

I’m one of the ordinary teens that go out & live life in a typical teen perception (e.g. parties, friends, listenining to music, enjoying youth as it is, etc.) I used to be the type of person who typically never found interests with the ”positive thinking” category (i was cynical at the time). I read this book one day cause it was lying on top my dad’s desk, i was hoping to ”kill time” by glancing at a few pages. Suddenly, i became attached towards Peale’s theories and i began reading from page to page and started applying positive concepts into daily situations (even when ”obstacles” were bound to hold me back) and mysteriously enough my attitude towards life transformed me into an optimist and a devoted believer in God which in turn, gave me successfull results (especially in my academics!). Hey, you have no need to believe me if you choose too, but I strongly affirm this book WILL alter your mind into becoming a believer with ”The Power of Positive Thinking”. If you’re a parent with a stressful life style, THEN THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU. If you’re the hard worker feeling as if you’re not getting anywhere, THEN THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU. If you’re a student feeling ”tripped & zoned out”, THEN THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU. All the people i’ve mentioned illustrates the average person bombarded with everyday problems (trust me, i literally live with them), yet the solution lies in front of your eyes because this book draws out supplies of confidence, faith in your own abilities, positive affirmations, and spiritual guidance in YOUR life…hey, i wouldn’t just waste time to make this book review and neither would the rest of these people who placed an entry analysis for this book. “Faith power brings miracles..”

THE POWER OF POSITIVE THINKING by Norman Vincent
Peale is one of my favorite books . . . so imagine my delight
when I had the opportunity to revisit it recently as a result
of listening to the taped version.
Best of all: Peale did most of the narration . . . while some
could argue that his speaking voice wasn’t the greatest (or at least
at the age when he read this particular version), I enjoyed
it even more so because he was the one doing the reading.
His advice from the book remains timeless; i.e., provided you
can get through some of the parts that might be a little
too religious-based for your particular taste . . . I was
able to do so and so was thus able to enjoy such insights
as the following:
* As you think, so shall you be.
* I don’t believe people are born negative thinkers. All babies,
unless they’re ill, are positive. Positive thinking is extremely
natural. Unfortunately, some babies are born into negative
households. Since they’re very susceptible to their
environment, they absorb the negative impulses and attitudes
around them.
* Create a mental picture of yourself as a success. Hold on
to this picture tenaciously. Since your mind tries to complete
what it pictures, always picture SUCCESS no matter how badly
things seem to be going at the moment. Whenever a negative
thought about your personal power comes to mind, deliberately
voice a positive thought to cancel it out.
* Anger, fear and worry are among the most subtle and
destructive of all emotions. To counteract their power, fill your
mind with good will, forgiveness, faith, and love.
* Each time you feel a surge of anger, ask yourself, “Is this
really worth what it is doing to me emotionally? Do I really want
to make a fool of myself in front of friends or family?
* Practice happy thinking. Make a mental list of pleasant thoughts
and pass them through your mind several times each day. If an
unpleasant thought should enter your mind, immediately stop,
reject it and substitute a pleasant thought.
And, lastly, there was this idea that I do try to practice every day:
* Every morning before rising, lie relaxed in bed for a few minutes.
Let pictures of each happy experience you expect to have that
say, pass across your mind. Savor their joy. such thoughts will
cause events to turn out that way.
There’s an excellent Listener’s Guide that accompanies THE POWER
OF POSITIVE THINKING.

I know the author has died and no doubt is enjoying eternal life in heaven, but I would like to thank him in this small way for making me realise that life is nothing without Christ and for putting me back on track. If this book did anything for me, it was that it made me realise that life is great, I am so happy when I think of my wife and kids and thank God for the abilities he has given me.God bless.

Review by Ember for The Power of Positive Thinking: A Practical Guide to Mastering The problems Of Everyday Living (4 CD Set)

The power of positive thinking and strong intentions is well-known and documented, and this short book does indeed offer some strategies for using these techniques. However, the book’s primary focus is on establishing a relationship with Jesus Christ, and the author’s attitude seems to be that the success of positive thinking hinges on that relationship.
I don’t want to sound anti-Christian, but the powers of intention and the law of attraction are enough on their own to give all the results you could ever want or need. A belief in a specific deity or religion are completely unnecessary. Although Peale probably didn’t know it at the time of original publication, the law of attraction is a scientific concept, not a religious one. Also, it’s rather contradictory to tell someone that they have the power within to accomplish anything, but they need Jesus to do so. Either you have the power or you don’t – Jesus has nothing to do with it. (And you DO have the power!)
If you are a Christian, I’m certain that the ideas in this book will resonate. And more power to you! But for those of us who are not, the book comes across as extremely preachy and outdated. There are many better choices on the same topic that don’t have some mention of Jesus Christ on 90% of their pages.
(In the interest of full disclosure, I want to add that while I am not a Christian, I DO believe in God. I find it offensive, frankly, that people assume a belief in a deity means one is a Christian, and I want to make it clear that there are more options than just Christianity and atheism!)
