The Power of Positive Living By Norman Vincent Peale 

About Book : Most of my years have been extremely happy, but, as with all of us, some have not. And I appreciate those, too, for sorrow and struggle are great teachers. Without them I could not have appreciated the happy times as much. But basically, I am a happy man, not dissatisfied or empty, and certainly not turned off. In fact, I'm very turned on. Sometimes I wonder if something is wrong with me. Can it be that in this day, when society's patron saint seems to be St. Vitus, I'm the one not with it?Another thing I love my wife, truly. Permit me a flashback I am talking with some students in the foyer of Syracuse University Methodist Church on a balmy October day way back in A.D. 1927. Suddenly the door is flung open and a beautiful blonde stands framed against the golden autumn afternoon. My heart catches. I have never seen her before, don't know her name, but I know she is the girl for me. It took me over two years to convince her, but now we have been married for sixty years, and despite the many stories one hears today of late-life separations and divorces, we are still in love. What's the matter with me? With her? Because I'm so happy is one of the main reasons I'm so concerned about people who are not. I'm also bothered by the fact that unhappy folks are not running on all cylinders: consequently they are not utilizing all their creativity, and society suffers for it. So I decided to again try doing something about it. But what can I just one man, do about it? Make speeches? I do still make speeches, all over the world, but I admit that any speech is gone with the wind when you step off the platform. But I could write another book. It would last longer than aspeech. And I know what a book can do, having written over thirty-five of them. They are like that old poem by Longfellow: I shot an arrow into the air, It fell to earth, I knew not where... Long, long afterward, in an oak found the arrow, still unbroken... I believe when we discover something of great value, it is our obligation and pleasure to share it with others So in the pages that follow I shall simply describe what I discovered that helped me, turned my life around. And I am sure that the same wonderful thing can happen to you. I believe it will turn your life around also. If you find new meaning, enhanced fullness of life, and deeper happiness as a result of reading this book, my purpose in writing it shall be fulfilled. I hope that you may get all this and more out of it. With the power of positive living I wish you the best in life.
