Norman Vincent Peale, the author of the international bestseller The Power of Positive Thinking—which has had an unprecedented influence on millions of people throughout the world—shares his inspirational classic that shows you how to develop the vital knowledge of inner power to carry you over every obstacle.
When you have a problem—no matter how baffling, difficult, or discouraging it may be, there is one basic principle to remember and apply, according to Dr. Peale: persistence through perception.
He shows how you too, can make the impossible possible by learning how to:
—Motivate yourself
—Believe in yourself and have confidence
—Forget your fears
—Make miracles happen
—Avoid thoughts of failure
—Draw on the resources in your mind
—Ease up and have a sense of humor
—Get on top of things and stay there
These dramatic, heartwarming stories in You Can If You Think You Can show how men and women—of all ages and all walks of life—transformed their lives and careers by following Dr. Peale’s philosophy of positive thinking.
