The pearls that Norman Vincent Peale drops in this book are magnificent. We all tend
to focus on the outside world when things are going “Wrong” when most of the time our
focus should be on what we are expecting and our expectations start with our thoughts.
The stories that Dr. Peale shares are a beautiful reflection of the same stories some of
us hear today about fear, energy, doubt, and inspiration.
