Robert Harold Schuller was an American Christian televangelist, pastor, motivational speaker, and author. He was ordained as a minister, who rocketed to stardom in 1955 preaching from the roof of a concession stand at the drive-in movie theatre, displaying a passion and a marketing towards other people.He had been incorporating elements of psychology, into each of his messages and for many in the Christian community, he was serving up a "feel-good gospel" and that the money he was spending on buildings was to be put to better use by giving it to the poor.
I have read quite a lot of self help books. Keeping that in mind, this is helpful in a way that it has many religious examples. This book was written before the social media era but still can come in handy. So religiously, this book is all about being a great Christian. Its good if one needs motivation regarding faith.
This books thought you to view success and failure into much different level, the title literally said itself. Schuller had showed how to achieve possibility thinking, and how having this trait going to really change someone's ways of viewing and living life. The book had also featured the successful stories of those who had praticed possibility thingking while facing the ups and downs in their life. This book is definitely one motivational book that really makes me learned how to shift my view, to really understand what and where I should really have my eyes on, when life is not going well.
And as a pastor himself Schuller indeed always thought the readers to live the life with faith. And me as a Muslim myself, couldn't agree more that my life should always, always be dependent on Allah s.w.t alone in every road -- smooth or tough -- because of divine power of God that will change the impossibilities to Possibilities.
This is a great book that encourages you to keep trying. As long as you are trying your are on the road to success. Fail forward is a term used in the book to convey that success is in the journey. Pick yourself up and keep trying until you figure it out.
I can't say enough but this book helped me through from darkness times and showed me the light path. When I'm down and I have to read some lines then, I feel alive and positive again.
Positivity and the strength of faith are clearly highlighted from this book. My all time fav book.♥️🙏
Nice book to read through for your own motivation. His words are simple but effective for your daily achievement. Now I am planning to read more of his books.
A bit of repetitive but still a good read. The first book was way better. Stories are good but still found it a bit more like a repetition of the same concept.
Most inspiring book Although "religious", the principles (the "overlap" between mind+ spirit) are eternal in guiding us from the darkness into the light FAIL your way to success
The beginning of the book was fantastic. I was pretty much impressed with the way the book is written, but towards the end, it started preaching too much to anyone's liking. I could see slowly the author wanted us to read all those verses of Jesus Christ, as foreseen at the end he mentioned that he wanted us to change into Christianity which I didn't like, Everybody has their own beliefs.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
I read this a while back and can't remember much about it so it can't have been that inspirational. I remember as with most self-help books there were a few relevant pointers but most of it was the same old cliche drivel!
