I Did because I thought I could....

I read this book in the spring of 1990. It saved my life. At the time I was a junkie, in jail, and facing charges of armed robbery. I had been to rehabs, NA, AA, church, you name it. Nothing worked. What this book did was to convince me that I really could take control of my life and become the person that I always wanted to be. I actually quit smoking half way through the book to prove to myself that I could. I got out of prison in the Summer of 1994. I have been drug, alcohol, and cigarette free ever since I read the book. Dr. Peale saved my life. Today, I have a wonderful family, a thriving business, and I am a respected member of my community. I couldn't have done it if Dr. Peale hadn't convinced me that I could. I wish that I could have thanked him personally, but he has passed on. The best way to pay my respects is to pass on my experience. Read the book and discover the power within to become everything that you ever wanted. Best of luck, Mark Owens

You Can If You Think You Can

Everybody wants to either change or improve something in their life. This is the book that will help you to suceed in doing so.I have read many of Dr. Peale books. This one especially will drive you to where you want to go in life whether it be to your personality, that little push toward a degree, you name it, it'll take you there. My advise "read, apply, and GO!!!

One of three must read books

In 1990, this was just one of three great books that turned my life from a tradgedy to success. Back in 1990, I had a huge business that came crashing down. I was jobless and pennyless. Dr Peale's excellent book and a book that I had read many years before turned my life around. Within weeks, I had found a brand new opportunity and within months my income was at a all time personal high. The other two books? They were "Think and Grow Rich" by Napolean Hill and More Wealth without Risk" by Charles Givens. I obviously highly endorse all three. The priciples work. Please don't make the same mistake I did--read it and pack it away! Read the books, take good notes, apply and reread at once a year. It's very true that what you don't use, you'll lose. I know it happened to me.

A WONDERFUL BOOK FROM A WONDERFUL MAN

Here is a concise, clear, and precise book on the power of thought, devoid of the "new-agey" hocus-pocus that is so prevelant today. Dr. Peale writes in a straightforward manner. Another good reason to get this book? Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, and the Christian "Right" dislike Peale and his work, referring to it as "heretical." A rule of thumb, if those guys hate it, the rest of us will love it...
