Norman Vincent Peale's Positive Thinking
Description
Book Introduction
“A miraculous book that will erase your anxiety and completely change your life.”
Anxiety, worry, and feelings of inferiority can all change if you just change your way of thinking.
Norman Vincent Peale, the founder of positive thinking, tells us:
The most powerful message about positivity and happiness
★ Amazon Bestseller for 20 Consecutive Years
★ The life-changing formula chosen by 25 million people in 42 countries around the world
★ The Best Bible on Positivity
We all want to be happy, but the truth is, it's not easy to just get through the day.
When failures pile up, when relationships feel burdensome, when we feel small for no reason, we give up and attribute everything to fate or luck.
"When on earth will I ever be happy?" "Norman Vincent Peale's Positive Thinking" is a book for everyone on this earth who lives each day with this kind of thought.
Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, known as a 'world-renowned motivational speaker,' served as a pastor for over 60 years, and while closely observing people on the brink of despair, he discovered a practical and powerful way to escape unhappiness and find happiness.
Norman Vincent Peale's Positive Thinking is a book that presents practical methods to solve problems and live a more peaceful and successful life through 17 topics closely related to real life, such as 'How to believe in yourself', 'How to build self-confidence', 'How to get out of depression', 'How to break through and overcome difficulties', 'How to get out of lethargy', 'How to control anger and excitement', 'How to be free from worry and tension', and 'How to be liked by others'.
When your thoughts change, your feelings change, and when your feelings change, your actions change.
And eventually, life changes.
This book will help you build the mental muscle to overcome defeat and get back up again.
The power that allows anyone to start over after a moment of collapse is ‘positive thinking.’
Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, who accurately diagnosed the sick crowd suffering from extreme fatigue, lethargy, and self-loathing, and presented a suitable prescription, shedding light on many intellectuals and the general public, frees those who are suffering from the chronic disease of inferiority complex and lives miserably from suffering through this book, and gives new strength to those who are hopelessly frustrated, transforming them into positive and active people.

Into the book
How confident you are is determined by the mindset that habitually occupies your mind.
If you only think about failure, you will tremble with anxiety about failure.
Conversely, if you always think positively and make it your dominant habit, you will have the confidence that you can overcome any problem you encounter.
In fact, confidence brings about an increase in strength.
Basil King once said, “Be bold, and a higher power will help you,” and this proves his words to be true.
As your faith grows day by day and changes your attitude from negative and passive to positive and proactive, you will feel a powerful force assisting you.
Emerson said of the surprising truth, “He who believes he can wins, does what he is afraid to do.”
“Surely that fear will go away,” he added.
Use confidence and faith.
Then you will realize that the fear and anxiety that have been enveloping you until now were actually nothing.

From "Believe in yourself"
One day I was sitting across from a couple in a train dining car.
The lady was dressed very extravagantly, with what appeared at first glance to be quite expensive clothing, a fur coat, and a diamond pin in her lapel.
But somehow it seemed uncomfortable.
She was ranting loudly about how dirty the car was, how drafts were coming in through the cracks in the windows, how the service was terrible, and how the food was not to her liking.
She was always complaining and irritated that everything was not right.
Her husband, on the other hand, was a gentle, affable, and peaceful man.
He was clearly a man with the ability to accept any given situation as it was.
I thought he was both embarrassed by her attitude and regretting bringing her on what should have been an enjoyable trip.
To change the subject, he asked me what I did for a living and then introduced himself as a lawyer.
Then he said something rather odd.
He said this with a small smile.
“And my wife works in manufacturing.”
It was unexpected.
Because his wife did not appear to be an entrepreneur or manager in the manufacturing industry.
So I asked, “Really? What do you make?”
“It’s unfortunate.”
He answered with such a calm face.
“My wife is creating her own misfortune.”
--- 「5.
From “How to Create Your Own Happiness”
A famous acrobat was teaching his students acrobatics, which involved hanging from a horizontal bar high in the air and performing tricks.
After giving all the necessary explanations and instructions for performing this stunt, he instructed his disciples to demonstrate their abilities.
One of the boys looked up at the high, seemingly precarious horizontal bar and froze in fear, unable to move.
The boy was picturing in his mind the terrifying sight of himself falling from that high place to the ground without mercy, and the intense fear made every muscle in his body stiffen.
“I can’t do it.
“I absolutely can’t do it.”
The boy said this while shaking so much that he could hardly breathe properly.
The acrobat placed his hand on the boy's shoulder and said:
“You can do it.
“I will teach you how to do it.”
And he threw a precious word at the boy.
That was the wisest thing I've ever heard.
He said this:
“Throw your whole heart over that horizontal bar.
Then your body will follow your mind.”
Write down this one quote.
Then write it on a card and keep it in your pocket.
Put that card on the desk in front of you.
Stick it on the wall, and also put one on the bathroom mirror you see every morning.
But a better way than any of these is to engrave it in your own mind that you truly want to achieve something great in your life.
There is power in those words.
The mind is a symbol of creative activity.
Light a fire in your heart toward where you want to be, toward what you wish to become.
Fix them firmly in your subconscious so that you cannot say 'no' to them.
Then your whole being will follow wherever your heart leads.
What it means to “throw your whole heart over the horizontal bar” is to throw your faith over the difficulties you are experiencing, to throw positive affirmations over all kinds of barriers, to plant in your imagination a picture of yourself overcoming the obstacles that stand in your way.
--- 「7.
From "Expect the best and hold on to it"
You can think of the path as leading to failure and unhappiness, or you can think of the path as leading to success and happiness.
The world you live in is determined not so much by external circumstances and conditions as by the thoughts that habitually occupy your mind.
Remember the great quote from the great ancient thinker Marcus Aurelius:
“Life is what a person’s thoughts create.”
Emerson, the wise man of Concord, who was one of the wisest men who ever lived in America, said this:
“What a person thinks about all day long is what he is.”
A famous psychologist says this:
“There is a strong tendency in human nature to become exactly what one habitually thinks of oneself.”
It is said that human thoughts are like an object.
That thing called thought actually has dynamic power.
If we consider the practical power of thought, it will not be difficult to accept the truth of this claim.
You can actually put yourself into a certain situation or get yourself out of it by your thoughts.
You can make yourself sick with your thoughts, or you can make yourself healthy with healing thoughts.
Think in a specific direction.
Then you attract the situation your thoughts point to.
Also, think about it in a different way.
Then you can create a completely different situation than before.
Situations are created by thoughts, and this creation is incomparably more powerful than situations creating thoughts.
Think about things positively and actively.
Positive and proactive thinking creates an environment around you that is conducive to such results.
Conversely, negative and passive thoughts create an environment around you that is conducive to negative and passive outcomes.
If you only think about failure, you will tremble with anxiety about failure.
Conversely, if you always think positively and make it your dominant habit, you will have the confidence that you can overcome any problem you encounter.
In fact, confidence brings about an increase in strength.
Basil King once said, “Be bold, and a higher power will help you,” and this proves his words to be true.

From “A new way of thinking will change you”
From “A new way of thinking will change you”
Publisher's Review
A small 'difference of opinion'
Promises a successful life and happiness
There is a term called 'burnout syndrome'.
It is a symptom in which a person who has been focusing on one thing falls into a state of extreme fatigue, lethargy, self-loathing, and refusal to do work.
People with this psychological state usually seek a place to lie down comfortably and rest, away from the criticisms of those around them and the persecution of the world, to console their minds.
To escape the situation, some people quit their jobs, leave the city or country, or even turn their backs on the world.
But Dr. Norman Vincent Peale says their problem is not with society or their individual lives.
And he offers practical and simple ways to change their mindset, saying, “It is your mind that is seeking a refuge from the world that is driving you into a corner.”
The book that contains that method is 『Norman Vincent Peale's Positive Thinking』.
Will life change just because your mind or your way of thinking changes? When your mind is at peace, all aspects of life become harmonious, ultimately releasing tension.
When you relax, various physical symptoms caused by stress gradually disappear, and your interpersonal relationships and social life also improve.
And as each individual's life improves, society eventually changes.
Everyone knows this simple and idealistic principle.
It's just that it's difficult to execute.
So, this book provides step-by-step practical methods that can be directly applied to each individual's daily life to lead a better life.
By applying this book, you can change the environment that has dominated you so far.
Furthermore, you can improve your interpersonal relationships, gain respect and love from those around you, regain your confidence, and improve your work abilities, which can lead to recognition.
The practical guidelines included in this book, such as 'How to Deal with Defeat', 'How to Get Rid of Worries', 'How to Develop Problem-Solving Skills', 'How to Be Liked by Others', 'How to Find Peace of Mind', 'How to Heal Heartbreak', and 'The Art of Success for a Smooth Life', are so simple that it's hard to believe they're clearly proven to be effective when practiced whenever life gets shaky.
“If you decide to give up unhappiness and be happy,
“I will give you a solution to your problem.”
The concept of giving up unhappiness or choosing happiness is not one that can be easily accepted.
Isn't the pursuit of happiness a fundamental human desire? However, Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, who has met countless people, says, "Even if God forgives, humans often fail to forgive themselves, tormenting themselves and making themselves unhappy."
It's as if you've chosen unhappiness and given up happiness.
For these people to escape from unhappiness and become happy, they must make the decision to choose happiness.
Dr. Norman Vincent Peale teaches us how to enter the 'path to happiness' from this 'choice' process, how to overcome and break down the obstacles that appear on the way, and how to advance step by step to reach the final destination, and presents in detail the methods and rules that have improved symptoms that still torment many people today, such as severe depression, alcoholism, infidelity, lethargy, extreme pessimism, and violence.
It is said that negative emotions such as fear, despair, and self-abandonment can be transformed into positive emotions such as hope and new confidence through a change in mindset, and inner peace and success can be achieved.
“Before reading this book, I constantly thought about suicide and tried to figure out why I should live,” confessed a reader from Texas.
Since its publication in 1952, this book has changed the lives of more than 25 million people in 42 countries, including readers in Texas, by teaching them the importance of positive thinking.
This book also had a huge impact on the publishing market.
Norman Vincent Peale's Positive Thinking is considered a classic self-help book.
This may be because it is a book written by Dr. Phil, the creator of the 'positive thinking' method, but the book's concise yet powerful themes, its diverse examples and clear practical methods, and Dr. Phil's appealing writing style are even more powerful.
As if to prove its power, the book has become a phenomenal bestseller, selling 25 million copies since its publication in 1952, and has become a new business model for the publishing market.
Since then, a series of similar derivative books have been published that have varied Dr. Phil's themes, but even the most recent books on life have failed to advance even a single step beyond Dr. Phil's themes.
Although this book was written by a pastor with a Christian spirit, it is a universal book that is needed by everyone, so it is persuasive enough to make anyone nod in agreement, regardless of their religion.
For this reason, it has been loved by many people for a long time.
Readers' reactions to this book

Although this book was written by a pastor with a Christian spirit, it is a universal book that is needed by everyone, so it is persuasive enough to make anyone nod in agreement, regardless of their religion.
For this reason, it has been loved by many people for a long time.
