Full review
Over the years I have read many books of the art or 'power' of positive thinking and although this type of book is compelling to read and does excite the reader, I don't truly believe that 'anything' can be acheived simply by thinking positively.
This particular book supposedly shows readers how to precondition themselves for success and achieve confidence, a sense of well-being, and an inner strength that they never dreamed possible. Sounds wonderful doesn't it!
Well fortunately I am a positive person anyway - more the optimist than the pessimist, and I have read a number of Mr Vincent Peales books over the years, however I have never managed to attain the dizzy heights I was led to believe I would simply by concentrating on the positive and ignoring the negative.
The trouble is with these kind of texts, that they possibly line one up for disappointment when one finds out that not everything can be acheived, that not every problem can be solved, simply by a positive mental attitude. Whilst entertaining to read, I would not take this book or any of the others of this genre *too* seriously.
