365 Ways to Change Your World

by Norman Vincent Peale

Everyday is a new beginning. All your yesterdays ended last night. This day is absolutely new. You've never lived it before. What an opportunity! Begin each day on the right foot! All of us need some kind of a daily lift to keep us going with full energy and enthusiasm. And perhaps nothing is mroe effective that a motivating and inspiring thought. For many years, Dr. Peale made it a practice to insert in his mind every day some inspiring thought and visualize it as seeping into his consciousness. His personal experience has been that such thoughts gradually permeate and affect attitudes. Sometimes he call them 'spirit lifters' for they do just that. And spirit lifting is needed by all of us. Brief in format but colossal in impact, each of the 'spirit lifters' - stories, anecdotes and wise-sayings - pack as inspirational wallop that will leave a lasting impact. They will dispel your doubts and fears, brighten each day of your life. This book presents 365 upbeat and positive thoughts. If you begin to feel 'down', take up the book and read one thought that day. And if one isn't enough, read a few more of them

About the author

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.
