Powerful examples and techniques to help you turn your life around through positive thinking from one of the leading names in self-help literature.

Millions of people around the world have changed their lives for the better thanks to Norman Vincent Peale and his Positive Thinking philosophy. Dr. Peale's groundbreaking program of affirmation and positive visualization is an amazingly effective way to overcome any obstacles that may stand between you and success, happiness, and your mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health and well-being. Positive Thinking works—and in The Power of Positive Living, Dr. Peale demonstrates how to use these techniques to conquer the fears and crippling adversity that may be holding you back from realizing your true potential in life. Self-confidence is the key, and this audiobook shows us how we can do it! With the "get-it-done twins," patience and perseverance, any believer can be an achiever!

Dr. Peale provides inspiring success stories from his own extensive experience as a counselor—such as a department store executive who turned his store into one of the chain's most profitable by focusing on his past successes rather than his failures and a woman who recovered her self-confidence and joy and purpose in living when she started volunteering with cancer survivors after her own breast cancer diagnosis cut short her modeling career. The wisdom, guidance, and practical advice provided in The Power of Positive Living will give you faith in yourself and in your power to achieve absolutely anything!

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Born in the Ohio hamlet of Bowersville on May 31, 1898, Norman Vincent Peale was the son of a physician turned Methodist minister. He grew up to become the author of 46 books, including the inspirational best seller of all time, Tbe Power of Positive Thinking. He was also a motivational speaker on countless platforms; the co-publisher of the world's leading inspirational magazine, Guideposts; and for 52 years, the beloved pastor of Marble Collegiate Church in New York City.

Following his ordination, Dr. Peale gained a reputation as a dynamic pastor whose churches grew. At University Methodist Church in Syracuse, N.Y., he met and married Ruth Stafford, his life partner for 63 years. They were a perfect compliment - he energetic and creative, and she organized and managerial.

At age 34 Dr. Peale accepted a call to Marble Collegiate Church. A common sight in his years as pastor were tourists lined up around the block to hear him. With Marble as his base, Dr. Peale launched far reaching innovations in the decades of the 1930's, 40's, and 50's. In 1933 he began a weekly radio broadcast that continued for a record setting 54 years. The year 1938 saw the founding of the innovative clinic for Christian psychotherapy, the Institutes of Religion and Health. In 1940 the Peale Center was organized to print and distribute his sermons and in 1945, along with business man Raymond Thornberg, Peale founded Guideposts Magazine.

In 1984 Peale was awarded the Presidential medal of Freedom by Ronald Reagan. Dr. Peale

died at his home in Pawling on Christmas Eve.

1993.

I'm a fan of NVP since I read The Power of Positive Thinking. I've read many of his books. But this one is special since it was written at 92yo! I'm a couple of months ahead of being 68yo. I'm an MD. I've been building a passive income business, and I've had the feeling that my time was near the end. Not now. Not anymore. I don't know how many more years I've to live but now I'm empowered to go in my quest for freedom and I got a new partner, besides God, and he is Dr. Peale.
So, get your copy and harness your power to a positive living and go for a new life (or keep on keeping on in your quest for a fulfilled life).

While Norman Vincent Peale's original Power of Positive thinking is great, this book holds it own. The stories are fantastic examples of the principles being applied and the dramatic changes they make in countless lives. It's all founded on faith in the power of Jesus and the truth of the Word of God. Amazing to read tale after tale of the lives of people who were lost, burned out, hurt by others, even some hurt by the church or angry with God, then after speaking with Norman or reading the other book, find themselves coming back to the truth and experiencing just how much God still loves them and desires to help them live a free, peaceful, productive, joy-filled life, regardless of their circumstances and quite often changing them for the better. It could also be called the power of a life yielded to God. Very inspiring and encouraging. Thank you again, Norman Vincent Peale. Talk about an amazing life!

Dr. Norman Vincent Peale is a man of faith and is able to exercise and teach us how to use faith to better our lives by thinking better, seeing the world better, and doing the right things.

Prayer is like self talk. We usually pray about good things and hope for good things, and good things to happen for people. Why don't we live our lives the same way we pray? Makes complete sense to me.

An easy to listen book when you keep an open mind, and open heart.

Everyone needs to read this book at least once. Yes it is faith based so if you can not relate to this, you may want to pass. Those to whom I have given this book to have experienced a profound improvement in their overall well being. Many books and inspirational gurus came after Dr. Norman Vincent Peale and this book, but he was on to something big very early on !

I first read The Power of Positive Living twenty-some years ago, and I loved it then. Needing a boost, I picked it up again, and once again, its messages hit home. I recommend this book to anyone who hasn’t read it and to anyone who hasn’t read it recently. Dr. Peale’s writing is clear, interesting, and powerful. Should be mandatory reading for everyone.
