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!

4.0 out of 5 stars Live the same way like you Pray.

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 !

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW, a must read
Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2019
I have read this book 3 times. It's a super short book, only takes a few hours to read for a slow reader like myself. I've had my wife read it and shared it with multiple friends. It has so much truth in it, explained in such a simple way. I highly recommend it.
