About the book
Norman Vincent Peale, a minister who served as pastor of New York's Marble Collegiate Church for 53 years, combines Christian faith with practical psychology in a guide to everyday problems. He opens with ten rules for overcoming feelings of inadequacy, among them picturing success, minimizing obstacles and affirming that one is in God's hands, then moves through chapters on a peaceful mind, steady energy, prayer, worry and anger, illustrated with anecdotal case histories. Affirmations and visualization are his main techniques. Published in 1952, it spent 186 weeks on the New York Times best-seller list, though scholars and health experts reviewed it negatively.
Donald Trump has said Peale was his pastor, calling him great and citing The Power of Positive Thinking by name. Gift-it-Forward founder Theresa Evanoff lists it among her favorite books on purpose and positive thinking.
