Heaven Hi!!!

Happy Birthday to the “The Power of Positive Thinking” by Dr. Norman Vincent Peal. On October the 13th, 1952, a book was launched that forever changed my viewpoint on life. This landmark book stood autonomous from the rest of the self help, behavioral books out there. It pioneered a way of thinking that would inadvertently ignite positive thinking and change the lives of millions, me be being one of the masses.

That book made a difference in the way I thought and the impact it had on my thinking. Dr. Peale During a rough point in my early childhood my father had left my family and I was greatly discouraged and confused about my own life. When reading this book I realized how I could change my way of thinking and how to unlearn a negative pattern of living and how to establish a positive one .Thus, inspiring me to help others find what I found through Norman Vincent Peeles words.

The only other books that stand to the level of “The Power of Positive Thinking” are Dale Carnegies “How To Win Friends and Influence People,” Napoleon Hill’s book, “Think and Grow Rich,” and Benjamin Franklin’s “The Way to Wealth.” These books have lasted through the ages, and should be cherished. Other contemporary books that have changed the perspective of people’s lives are “The Secret” which has been called into question by many as a revolutionary self help doctrine. One wonders if “The Secret” will have a lasting impact as “The Power of Positive Thinking’s” 55 year run. I guess we’ll just have to see.

I comemmorate October 13th as the day my eyes were opened to the epiphany that Norman Vincent Peele brought to me through his inspirational book.

Be BOP!
