 Disappointing version December 13, 2005

This is not the original Power of Positive Thinking book that I was expecting. This is a tiny, pocket-sized abridged version. I did not see that mentioned anywhere in the description, but maybe I just overlooked it. Anyway, I was extremely disappointed because I wanted the original version to give as a gift to a friend. This tiny version has very little information in it. Find the original version if you can. It will change your life.
 Thank you November 20, 1999

I know the author has died and no doubt is enjoying eternal life in heaven, but I would like to thank him in this small way for making me realise that life is nothing without Christ and for putting me back on track. If this book did anything for me, it was that it made me realise that life is great, I am so happy when I think of my wife and kids and thank God for the abilities he has given me.God bless.
Don't let this one out of your sight! June 13, 2007

This book is an absolute must-have! Coming across the title of this book is like you having found a source of hidden treasure for you to behold and begin a newfound journey in your life. I'm glad you are here reading this today. This compelling book examines faith-based principles that contain the potential to revolutionize anybody's life should they follow through. "How are you so sure?" you may ask, well, this book has been in my family for some time now. My grandmother (an ardent fan of Norman Vincent Peale books) had given a copy to my father, and I in turn, well... was introduced to The Power of Positive Thinking by accident (and what a wonderful accident it has come to be!) as the book was just laying on my father's desktop several years ago and I happen to stumble upon it. I recall having been positively charged up at that moment as Norman Vincent Peale shows you how you can achieve your goals, how to never believe in defeat (as victory is yours to start with), how to stay calm amidst the rush of everyday life, and most importantly how faith in yourself and in God regardless of your religious beliefs, can create the ultimate partnership for successful living today.
I am very grateful for writers like Norman Vincent Peale. I have accomplished more than what I had asked for. I was shown how to realize my goals through a good dose of faith and prayer. Dr. Peale draws from real life examples and inspiration from the Bible and shows you how your life coupled with the right attitude, can unlock your full potential for a meaningful lifestyle. His main source of reference is typically from Christian texts, but I find his message to be truly applicable to any religious community. I am compelled to write this review because of how this book had changed my life. Norman Vincent Peale is like a coach in a book, and not to mention, like a good family friend.
Read this book, but be careful for what you ask for or dare dream to accomplish in this life, it may just come true.
Do not buy this if you are not religious! June 1, 2008

(sigh) I have heard so much good stuff about this book that I literally could not wait till I received it. However nowhere do the ads (that I recognized) do they let you in on the insipid religious bigotry that permeates the book. If you don't believe in god - then forget it! According to the author you've got no hope. In his mind success and religious spirituality cannot be separated and although there are probably some meritorious elements of the book, they are bastardized by the cheap religious recruitment drive endlessly spewing from the pages. As an atheist I couldn't get through half the book without retching. Consequently it went spinning out of my window and hopefully into a bin.
If you are not a fundamentalist Christian who believes in prayer - or you are not easily brainwashed then don't waste your money.
Highly Abridged Edition September 8, 2005

This micro edition of the famous book measures 2.76" wide by 3.29" tall and with only 128 pages must be no more than 11% of the full text of "The Power of Positive Thinking." So where does Amazon.com mention this epic shortcoming in the description? Buyer beware, I guess. Very disappointing.
