Norman Vincent Peale: Treasury of Joy and Enthusiasm

Life can be a joyous adventure everyday, all the way, says Norman Vincent Peale. No one who has ever been exposed to Dr Peale doubts the man who preached, wrote and lived the percepts of joy and enthusiasm. In this anthology, he delves into the lives and minds of world’s greatest achievers, thinkers, writers and philosophers to show how nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm. He shows how the power of laughter and zest can be applied to life with startlingly effective results. Say ‘yes’ to life.

Share the experiences of people who have lived fulfilled and happy lives — by practicing joy and enthusiasm. * Norman Cousins, who reversed a crippling disease by practicing the Biblical truth, “A merry heart doeth good like a medicine.” * Dr. Peale’s friend, who saw excitement in a windy March morning and poetry in raindrops on bare branches * The insurance salesman who changed from failure to success by applying the “as if” principle * And many more, including: Dr. Peale’s own “Creed for Optimism” — promising yourself to be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy for trouble.
