BOOK REVIEW -THE POWER OF POSTIVE THINKING

 

TITLE- THE POWER OF POSTIVE THINKING 

BY- NORMAN VENCENT PEALE

Will show you that the roots of success lie in the mind and teach you how to believe in yourself, break the habit of worrying, and take control of your life by taking control of your thoughts and changing your attitude.

SUMMARY

Lesson 1: Believe in yourself and visualize your goals to see how small your problems are.

Yes, confidence is important, because if you feel inferior, you’ll act inferior. We know confidence alone doesn’t solve all problems. After all, it’s not the same as competence, and telling a kid who’s horrible at math that she’s great won’t make her study more for the next test. It is up to you to actively change your thoughts and believe that you can bring value wherever you go. Peale suggests an exercise to help you do that, which happens to be backed by science.

Lesson 2: Your attitude determines your entire life.

This quote really struck me:

Your world is nothing more than the thoughts you have about your experiences

of course all the problems in your life are real. And yes, some of them might take a few years to solve, like debt, or a serious illness. But how you react to those problems is entirely up to you. You might not be able to solve those problems at the push of a button, but your attitude is something you can change from one second to the next.

Your world, your reality, is only determined by what you think about everything you experience in life.

Lesson 3: Imagine your life free of worry to become less concerned about the future.

Here’s a super meta hack for worrying less: Imagine yourself as a worry-free person in the future. Just imagining that it is possible for you to live without worry will take a lot of your current worries away.

Its is very thoughtful book. You must try ones.
