A great book by a great man
I've just finished reading Norman Vincent Peale's book "Enthusiasm Makes the Difference," originally published in 1967.
It's published by Wings books in a three book edition, which includes "The Power of Positive Thinking" and "The Positive Principle Today." Sadly Dr. Peale died in 1997 - I would so like to have met him. His original book "The Power of Positive Thinking" was - and still is - very influential in my life. The man had an incredible wealth of energy and enthusiasm, and must have been a fun guy!
Dr. Peale advocates the infusion of enthusiasm into our lives in order to accomplish what we are capable of. He was a very spiritual man: he calls on us to ask God's help in our endeavors and then truly believe He will assist us. There is a piece entitled "Never Build a Case Against Yourself" - don't let an inferiority complex get in the way of your aspirations. "Turn Typhoons into Tail Winds" is another great approach to life he mentions.
If you need uplifting, this book and the other two on positive thinking will dramatically change your daily attitude and give you new vigor!
