My purchase of Power of Positive Thinking five years back was the beginning of a new chapter in my life. The paperback, now tattered and held together with a binder clip, is referenced periodically, and recently more frequently as I decided to re-read the book for the ? time, I forget now. The read is very simple, very polished, very uplifting. Dr. Peale had a zest for life and a true heart for serving others and each word conveys these messages. Highly recommended for anyone willing to face inferiority complexes and understand that with God and a positive attitude, anything is possible. Anything. I am here today to purchase several more copies for friends.

This book is an excellent comprehensive boost for anyone who wants to welcome change and new ways of seeing their world and the issues they may have in relationships, wealth, success and life in general. I haven't finished reading it yet - but have found that even just one page a night before bed does wonders in slowly opening us up to change and positive ways of thinking. It's difficult to do in a world that bombards us at lightening speed with so many mixed positive and negative, draining messages. This is a great way to keep your feet on the ground, mind focused on the important things and even if you aren't religious to explore yourself and spirituality. Like a pocket psychotherapist ;-)

I've read The Power of Positive Thinking, like twice or more. And the book is great. I will definately buy this three in one book. Because i know it will make a difference in my life like The Power of Positive did. It changed my life for the best. And I too like others subscribed to Guideposts, and the annual issue. I would highly reccommend this book to anyone and everyone.

Peale is the master at comprehensively and clearly describing the process of achieving results through spirituality and positive thinking. Read everyone of his books and the information will be embedded into your soul and will literally push you toward success. The power of the human being is incredible and his books are vthe guide to apping into this immense force. Go and discover genuine and lasting success and peace in your precious life.

I enjoyed reading these three books in one. The pages contain words of wisdom that I'm sure I will refer to all of my life. Therefore this book will never get old. It has a Christian flavor with the appeal of timeless wisdom.

I own the first book "Power of positive thinking". I can hardly wait to read the other two. At one point in my life I was covered with negative thinking and it drastically affected my actions and situations around me. However, using this book changed my life. I trust in God more now, have more faith in him, and I am much happier today. Also, more people started noticing and they liked the happier, more in control me. Praise God!!

I have made a goal for myself and I intend to achieve it so I ordered this book to help me to think positively towards my new goal. It has inspired me to take life my the horns and defeat all the negative ideas that try to beat me down on a daily basis. I'm very pleased with this book and the positve ideas and suggestions it gives.
This book arrived as promised in the aloted time and in excellent shape.

Given a chance, this book can help you see yourself and the world around you in a new and better light. It was a timely help to me, certainly, and I recommend it to you from the perspective of a Vietnam War PTSD vet.

Easily the best book I've ever bought. If I could rate this book six stars, I would.

Six months ago, I decided to change my life and head for the military. I wanted to be the best and decided to try out for the Rangers, an especially ambitious goal considering my activity level was on par with most vegetables. My friends laughed at me, I bought this book.

Using this book as my motivational guide and Stew Smith's 12 Weeks to BUD/S as my exercise plan, my pushup/run/situp/swim scores absolutely shot through the roof. I have never felt motivation like I felt after reading through Norman Peale's book and if it wasn't for this purchase, I honestly believe I would have abandoned this goal and would still be miserable, sitting on my couch, and playing video games, not out getting in shape for the Rangers.

That was over six months ago now, and am heading off to basic pretty soon with my body ready and my mind motivated.

Thank you Mr. Peale even though you are probably dead, I am a very happy customer and have even bought a couple copies for my friends. The concepts in this book are the best things that have ever happened to me and have absolutely revolutionized my life.

They can revolutionize yours too. All you have to do is buy it and use it.

I read Enthusiasm Makes the Difference and absolutely loved it! I felt like it was one of THE best books I had ever read, because it is so true. Enthusiasm does make the difference. This book helped me with my marriage, and it helped me start to revitalize my life. I bought 6 copies so that every one of my kids could read this book. I love how the author brings in the importance of bringing God into our lives. I love the stories he includes about how, when people did bring Christ into their lives, they were healed of problems that had been plaguing them. This book not only talks about how we should act with each other, but it talks about spiritual enthusiasm and how having faith in Christ and the fact that Christ and Heavenly Father care about our individual lives, can turn our lives around and heal us. I love how he encourages the reader to think of some positive or religious saying to be repeated every day and night, and encourages thankfulness and positive thinking. I think this book is a must read for everybody, but especially for those who are struggling with their lives.
