The Power of Positive Living

Rating:
Summary: Living Positively!
Review: Dr. Peale tells us positive living still works. This book reinforces the theme of his ministry. He encourages us to think positively and act accordingly. Practice beleiving on a regular basis, we're told. He identifies two "get it done twins" as being patience and perseverance as he adds, "an achiever is a believer."

Another familiar theme he stresses is "we become what we think."
This book helps you to focus on the type of thoughts that will cause you to become the individual you want to be.

Summary: Summary of works
Review: I have read a couple of Peale's works and this one seems like more of a summary than anything else. Don't get me wrong, it still purveys a powerful message of how positive living can change your life and others, but at the same time I see a lot of repetition of previously told stories from other books he wrote. This also uses a lot of "name dropping" which I find unecessary and boring. All in all still a very good read, but I would recommend one of his earlier works instead, perhaps "Enthusiasm makes the difference". One thing to remember this change if you choose to make it will not occur over night, but will take time...so don't despair.
