The Power Of Positive Living By Norman V. Peale By espressocup on Sep 30, 2007 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

The Power of Positive Living is a classic motivational book by Norman Vincent Peale. Peale was a minister in New York City and started the Peale Center for Living. He also wrote The Power of Positive Thinking. While this book does have a Christian tone, anyone would be comfortable reading it and taking solace in its wisdom. Peale offers suggestions to make your life more positive, through thoughts, beliefs and actions. Affirmations and creative visualizations -- Peale called this Picturing -- are an excellent way to make your life more positive. Peale also offers Bible verses to repeat to help encourage more positive though. He shares from his personal experiences as a shy, introverted, too-skinny teenager who was a minister's son and offers what he did to help lead a more positive life.
