I found Wally to be a very positive person. I really enjoyed listening to his story and found it inspiring. I have listened to the tapes many times and I always found myself feeling more hopeful and empowered by his message.

Too old. Not worth the money. Norman Vincent Peale wrote a book on this same subject 50 years ago and was better. Wally Amos
may have read it too. Save your money. Look within for your happiness and to Jesus Christ. Also would help if you get a job or hobby to turn your negative thoughts into positive ones.
