This tiny little book contains more wisdom than you might think. Revealing more about yourself and how to tap into your God given gifts to become a winner. From daily life circumstances, business, work, how not to worry, how to deal with loneliness, inferiority complex, sorrow, to personal development and happy family life. I would recommended it even for teenagers as a required reading for their school book lists.

This book is truly packed with so much helpful information. Don't let the size of the book fool you. Although it is pocket size, it is jampacked with so many lessons for all to lead their life by. I often refer to this book when lost or confused. I just can't seem to keep a copy for myself!

Dr. Peale's ability to put a lot of valid, life-changing material in a small book is demonstrated eloquently in this work. He wastes no words in getting straight to the point of how to improve your life. The first attitude he addresses is to approach problems from the proper persepctive, i.e., not from the mindset of a victim, but of an overcomer! Problems are temporary. They help mold character.

We're reminded of ultimate reality as Dr. Peale writes, "in the last analysis, only the God-directed life can attain true and basic success." The work ethic is stressed also. These truths are doable, time-tested, and not bound by any culture. They work if you work them.

This book I can't put down. I am loving the concepts given and I am applying them everyday. I have reread some chapters. I also love the fact it can fit in my purse; so when I am in traffic or waiting on a line. I can just pull the book out and read. This has been a great purchase. The book arrived earlier than expected, Thanks

A good book to start making changes in your life for the better. Dr. Norman Vicent Peale one of my favorite authors is such a wonder minister who has touch and changed so many lives for the better. A must have to keep in pocket.

With the publication of SIX ATTITUDES FOR WINNERS,Dr. Norman Vincent Peale has proven once again that he remains the genius that he has proven to be in his other seminal works:"THE TOUGH-MINDED OPTIMIST(1989), TREASURY OF COURAGE AND CONFIDENCE(1970), SIN, SEX AND SELF-CONTROL(1965),TTHE AMAZING RESULTS OF POSITIVE THINKING() and more.SIX ATTITUDES FOR WINNERS is replete with sagacious prescriptions that should be read by anyone in the throes of spiritual, and physiological problems, and I bet our contemporary society is teeming with people in this category. This boooklet is fascinating in several respects but the section that helped me the most is titled "A Winners Guide to Eleven Common Problems:(pp. 69-70.) Dr. Peale suggests we take the following steps when faced with problems in our daily lives:
1. Affirm, affirm and continue to affirm until you believe that with God's help you can cope with the difficulty 2. No Panic. Let there be no panic, for a difficulty can never be handled emotionally 3.Organize the difficulty. Take it apart and study its component elements. New insights will come to you 4.Think. Always apply sound, reasonable thinking to your problems 5.Do not ask "Why me?". Understand that life has its surprises.Everybody has difficulty sooner or later 6.Acceptance is important. Tell God that that if you have to live with this difficulty you will accept His will and know that he will give you the strength. Constantly remind yourself that nothing is going to happen to you today that you and God, working together cannot handle it 7.Practice patience for some difficulties are not handled overnight 8. Learn from your problems. In other words, look for educational value in difficulties so that you can handle similar situations in the future 9.God is bigger.Believe that God is bigger than than problem that you could ever be confronted with 10.Let go and let God. When you have done all this, put the difficulty in God's divien hands and have confidence that he will take care of it.

Here, dear readers, is what I would like to label as Dr. Peal's TEN COMMANDMENTS FOR A WORRY-FREE LIFE. You won't regret reading this wonderful booklet!
Dr. Vakunta is Professor Modern Language at the US Defense Language Institute in California, USA.

Frustrated, depressed, hopeless, need guidance, this book is for you! Dr. Normal V. Peale is the "Master" of positive thinking through Christian spiritual acceptance and guidance. Having dedicated a lifetime to his ministry and writings, Dr. Peale has a little something to offer everyone looking to regain control of their life and prosper in a hectic world.

"Six Attitudes for Winners" is a short read that packs so much wisdom you may find yourself caring it with you everywhere. I enjoyed the book so much I went right away to Amazon.com and ordered several more of Dr. Peale's works. "Six Attitudes for Winners" is one of the best self-help books I have ever! You will not be disappointed.

The book came packed really well to protect it.. There was cardboard on both sides. Book came exactly as advertised

Love it. Bought as a gift for my corporate husband but read it also prior to giving to him. He has always been a fan of Norman Vincent Peele. Would recommend for sales execs to carry in pockets.

These small booklets, which focus on Peale's major perspectives, are GREAT for carrying in one's pocket or purse--to be read whenever it is convenient (on a bus, train, subway, etc.). I appreciate Peale's ideas/perspectives; I am pleased to have a convenient little book like this to carry around!
