The Power of Positive Thinking

Norman Vincent Peale

Overview

Norman Vincent Peale was an American minister and author and one of the world's most widely recognized motivational speakers in the 20th century. His most popular book, The Power Of Positive Thinking, has sold over 5 million copies worldwide and takes a Christian perspective and real-world approach to positive psychology.

Since Peale wasn't a scientist, many mental experts disregarded the ideas from his book, and it received a lot of both favorable and highly critical feedback. However, it's hard to deny the real-world impact his ideas have had, he himself being living proof that they work – after a long and by any measures successful life, he died at age 95 on Christmas Eve in 1993.

"The way to happiness: keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry. Live simply, expect little, give much. Scatter sunshine, forget self, think of others. Try this for a week and you will be surprised."
