Here you'll find "thought conditioners" to refresh and reinforce positive attitudes. "spirit lifters" to dispel our doubts and fears and help us persevere through the darkest of days, as well as other "daily vitamins" to keep us motivated and uplifted every day, on such important topics as
-- dealing with criticism
-- reaching our goals -- career and personal
-- learning the art of relaxation
-- finding the strength and power inside everyone
-- turning a negative experience into positive growth and more, to make each day the best it can be -- this year and every year.

Dr. Norman Vincent Peale (1898–1993) was a minister and author (most notably of The Power of Positive Thinking) and a progenitor of the theory of "positive thinking".

Peale was born in Bowersville, Ohio. He graduated from Bellefontaine High School, Bellefontaine, Ohio. He has earned degrees at Ohio Wesleyan University (where he became a brother of the Fraternity of Phi Gamma Delta) and Boston University School of Theology.

Raised as a Methodist and ordained as a Methodist minister in 1922, Peale changed his religious affiliation to the Reformed Church in America in 1932 and began a 52-year tenure as pastor of Marble Collegiate Church in Manhattan. During that time the church's membership grew from 600 to over 5000, and he became one of New York City's most famous preachers.

Authored by Norman Vincent Peale, a motivational speaker/preacher that Trump in his early days learn and adopt the positive thinking mentality, this book is very interesting and helpful with its daily delivery of lesson and set of events that demands a positive mindset.

Good read.

like most Norman Vincent peale there is good stuff in this book , but then is ruined by egotistical self worship - how to get rich on worldly materialism.
