This condensed version of the most famous self-help book ever written is a pocket-size volume of inspiration that's as relevant today as it was when first published in 1952. It contains the wisdom of Dr. Norman Vincent Peale's best-selling original and Peale's sage advice about developing the mental acumen to surmount obstacles and maintain a positive outlook.

I ordered this book (if you want to call it that) online, and was very excited about it.
To be getting a hard cover book for such a great price, who wouldn't be excited?
But then, it arrived. I couldn't believe it. It was a miniature book. I tiny pocketbook...
I went back to the add. Looked at the title description - it didn't say that it was tiny.
NO - only when you look at the book dimensions down the page do you get the information that it is a tiny book.
I believe this to be misrepresentation -
THE SELLER KNOWS ITS A TINY BOOK.....
WHY NOT TELL PEOPLE UP FRONT THAT IT'S A TINY, POCKET BOOK. PUT THAT INFORMATION IN BOLD - IN THE MAIN DESCRIPTION IF NEED BE. Not down the page.
Very disappointed with this purchase only for that reason.

I was very disappointed with this book. It was not clearly indicated that it was a miniature version with just a few sentences per page. That this is not the full size book should be the first thing you noticed!!

It's such a simple and effective concept, that positive thinking creates a positive life, yet hard to do at times- which is a good reason alone to read this book.
Most everything we accomplish each day starts out as a thought. Thoughts flash across our minds each day, all day long, and directly influence how we feel and what we do. So, if you spend your day thinking about negative things, expect to feel bad. On the other hand, if you spend your day concentrating on positive things, good things will happen. And that's basically the purposeand premise of this book- to change your thinking for the better, which in turn will influences your life. The book will "reset your sights" so to speak.
Each chapter of the book tackles important life issues, such as worrying, creating happiness, having energy, etc. Examples of the principles abound, and each chapter ends with a nice summary.
An inspiring and entertaining read, I recommend this book to anyone who needs a little nudge in the direction of positive thinking. Know though, that there is a definite religious tone throughout the book, which could bother some. Those looking for something a little more in the physical rather than cognitive realm to pick you up, might be better off with a book like Exercise Beats Depression.

The book title should be "The Power of Wishful Thinking"
This book is dangerous, particularly for naive people who believe that they can achieve anything by thinking positive. Read more
