 Just as promised November 30, 2008
I bought this book years ago, and just recently my life changed enough that I needed to read it again. I have no idea where that original book is, so I bought it again. This book is timeless in it's knowledge and information. There are things that we never know exist until our eyes are open. It's simply amazing how the laws of the universe are fact, and how they go on whether or not we believe them, understand them, or even know about them. This is one of many books everyone should have in their library, next to other books that help us understand and expand our knowledge. This is a treasure, and I am very thankful it is still in print. I will hold onto this one!
 More about religious thinking and less about positive thinking... October 28, 2008
I started reading this book with great hope of getting some push on positive thinking. But, even after reading 70 pages I could not find anything that is closely related to positive thinking. The writer, through out the book, was telling that reading the bible is solution for all problems.
I myself is very religious and I have nothing against the content of the book, but the title is not apt. I would have given atleast four stars if it would have been titiled "power of bible".
Once again, this book is just promoting religion/bible and it is not any thing about positive thinking.
Just what I needed. October 9, 2008
I was at a very low point in my life, having just been laid off from my job, depressed and feeling very unwanted. I was looking through book titles and this one caught my eye. I didn't really know much about the book but it sounded like something I could use. I started listening and the more I listened the better I felt. So much of what was said hit home for me. I found myself listening to this audio book whenever I was in the car going to an appointment, going for an interview, anytime I needed to feel better. Some of the sayings from this book continue to resonate within me at the times I need to hear them the most.
I highly recommend this audio book.
Loved this book October 6, 2008
An oldie but a goodie. Everything in this book was so uplifting. Wonderful daily reminders. Lots of suggestions to improve your life. I love that scriptures are quoted. Who knew the Bible book of Job first spoke of the law of attraction! Interesting stories of healing and the mind/body connection. Must have been quite controversial back when it was first published.
Don't be put off by those who say it's religious. I am not religious at all but rather I say I'm spiritual. I will reference this book often.
A little dated in the presentation, but not the content. September 8, 2008
I found myself a bit distracted by the lack of specific references as to who the annecdotes were about. A lot of "a certain high ranking executive in an important industry, in a major US city..." These days we expect to be told which executive in which industry and and which in which city. Maybe we have all gotten a bit more skeptical about sources in the Internet age.
But that quibble asside, I have been making a concious effort to put Dr. Peale's ideas into practice, and found them very helpful. In another 50 years the presentation will seem more dated yet, but I am sure the ideas will be no less important. I am glad I bought the book.
As as has been noted in many other reviews, this book is about living a rich, full, happy life in a Christian framework. If that's not what you are looking for, keep looking!
