      Overall, "The Power of Positive Thinking" is a good and decent book. It is a bit aged. The dialog, illustrations, and references are obviously from a bygone era (1950s). But, the overall premise of the book is quite simple and relevant today: Utilizing the art of visualization and having faith in the visual. Believing in what you want in order to succeed and make happen. Peale uses various Biblical text to support the view that you can make happen anything you want to as long as it fits within God's will. In general I agree with this premise. But, Peale seems to place more faith on the visualization itself rather than placing the faith in God alone. And, there seemed to be a high emphasis on achieving great business success throughout the book. But, I enjoyed the relaxation techniques Peale offers throughout this book. And, I like the technique of repetitive self-talk, Scripture memory, and imagery of peace and tranquility in order to sustain harmony and calm in ones life. I also appreciated Peale's encouragement to not let any negative thoughts enter into the mind. The minute it does, put an end to it and immediately replace it with a positive thought. I also appreciate Peale's call to sustain a pure and positive mind, free of worry and anxiety, as it will inevitably lead to a healthy body (healthy mind = healthy body). There were many good Scripture verses and passages scattered throughout the book; verses that offer encouragement, hope, and strength. The one thing that is missing from this book is a general summarization of all the practical techniques mentioned throughout the book. It seems the techniques were a bit obscure and hard to find at times. It would have been nice for Peale to have brought it altogether. Nevertheless, the book is good. I highly recommend it to those who struggle with anxiety and worry like myself. I also recommend it to those who may suffer from low self esteem.

      I love the fact that what is used is Scripture. It brought verses to light and saw them in different ways. Who I am is based on how I think, what I think about, and the negative thoughts I allow to take hold in my heart. Short but insightful book!

      This is essentially a work for Christians. But here is what I gleaned from it:
      - "Prayerise, picturise, actualise" (pp. 63-5).
      - "Do you ever 'fume' or 'fret'?" (p. 96).
      - "Self-knowledge is the beginning of self-correction" (p. 241).
      - "easy power" and "correlated power" (p. 243).
      Peale mentions dozens of famous people, including Marcus Aurelius and Edison, and endless examples of faith and positive thinking based on his own experience. His argument is that faith is scientific, and will be proven so. The work reflects many of the conversations I have had with Christian psychologists. It is difficult to be pessimistic when surrounded by such optimism. In the words of my late great-grandmother, "Think positive. Always think positive".
