4.0 out of 5 stars Dr. Peale has given me shampoo for my brain !, June 13, 1998
By A Customer
This is a review by God-fearing guy. When I first read this book, I just 'enjoyed' the quotes by the author. But when difficulties cornered my life, I once again turned to this book to find how 'meaningful and practical' they are.

It really works ! In the very first chapter, there is a prayer "I believe You have a plan for my life, so there must be some purpose.....". This prayer gives me a closer connection with God.

The wordings, "Always act as if it were impossible to fail and God will see you through" are really boosting for all aspiring personality.

The idea of shampoo for the brain is really catchy. Personally, to flush my negative feelings, I read Peale's books or other books of Inspiration, as soon as I wake up.

The law of abundance, the idea of health, handling difficult, overcoming pressure and the knowledge of spiritual forces.... everything gave me a new dimension in my thinking pattern.

This book is not only for those who meet failures but for those who are climbing up without the idea of The Supreme Power.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Self Help Book, March 6, 2002
By W. Hance "bhance" (Gates Mills, OH United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
All I can say is that I had tried to read The Power of Positve Thinking several times but never was able to get into it. However after getting out of the Hospital having received a Stem Cell bone marrow transplant, I found myself in desparate need of a mental pick me up. I was simply not able to think positively about life or my health and I was also very weak physically. I found this little paperback on the shelf and took it into the bathroom. Each day I would read a couple of sentences or more. With the type of illness I had, it was very important that I develop and maintain a positive mental outlook in order to harness the "placebo effect" (being healthy because I think I am healthy would be an example). When I started my regimen of reading a little bit each day, I would say I was almost a zero in mental strength. Gradually, I started to get little pieces out of the examples of the book and I started practicing those pieces. I found that just these little steps yielded visible results. Eventually, I finished the book. Then I read it again in the same way. I have made a check list of things to do each day in order to maintain the mental strength I have acquired from reading the book. I am reading it for a 3rd time now. Recently I recommended to a friend to read it and found myself volunteering my original copy of this 1959 little paperback which sold for 60 cents at the time. ... I recommend this book to everyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Amazing Results of Positive Thinking , November 3, 2006
By James E. Breedlove (Strasburg, PA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I purchased this book for my daughter who is 21 years old and having some problems in her young life. She tells me that it is great and has helped her a lot in trying to sort things out. I find it very up lifting and believe it would be of great value to some one that has a problem with depression.
