Good material, mediocre presentation..needs a rewrite.,
By A Customer
This review is from: You Can If You Think You Can (Paperback)
Vincent Peale has written some 42 books...and his message is good. But given this book was first written in the 1970's, it is sometimes difficult to digest. What is said in 320 pages could have been said in 30 (quite wordy), the examples are far outdated (see below) and far too much attention is paid to supressing your emotions (therapists will tell you this is not good, feelings have to be dealt with). Example: Peale upholds Henry Ford as a shining beacon of a good person....Henry Ford was a great business leader but he was also a strong anit-semantic and was against employing people of color. The reader should also beware that Peale is a Christian minister.The book could use a re-write. The overall message however is still valuable today..Peale was one of the first to point out the Mind-Body connection and the Self-Prophesy theory..what you expect is what you get. You dont have to read the whole book to get the point though.

One of three must read books,
By A Customer
This review is from: You Can If You Think You Can (Paperback)
In 1990, this was just one of three great books that turned my life from a tradgedy to success. Back in 1990, I had a huge business that came crashing down. I was jobless and pennyless. Dr Peale's excellent book and a book that I had read many years before turned my life around. Within weeks, I had found a brand new opportunity and within months my income was at a all time personal high. The other two books? They were "Think and Grow Rich" by Napolean Hill and More Wealth without Risk" by Charles Givens. I obviously highly endorse all three. The priciples work. Please don't make the same mistake I did--read it and pack it away! Read the books, take good notes, apply and reread at once a year. It's very true that what you don't use, you'll lose. I know it happened to me.

A WONDERFUL BOOK FROM A WONDERFUL MAN,
By A Customer
This review is from: You Can If You Think You Can (Audio Cassette)
Here is a concise, clear, and precise book on the power of thought, devoid of the "new-agey" hocus-pocus that is so prevelant today. Dr. Peale writes in a straightforward manner. Another good reason to get this book? Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, and the Christian "Right" dislike Peale and his work, referring to it as "heretical." A rule of thumb, if those guys hate it, the rest of us will love it...
