Enthusiasm Makes the Difference

No matter where you are on the enthusiasm scale, you will get something out of all the examples in this book. I consider myself to be a very positive person, yet after reading this book, I realize there are areas of my thinking that can use a boost in enthusiasm.

Great book, as described. Fast shipping, great seller!

I knew I was buying a "used" book but wasn't expecting a 56yo book! For its age, it's in good shape with exception of the spine. My only concern is I travel a lot & carry my books everywhere. I'm worried this book will not travel well due to the spine damage. I will keep it for home reading where it wont get jostled around a lot. Otherwise, I'm happy to have it.

For anyone who doesn't have a real appreciation for this GIFT we call LIFE! And for anyone who 'thinks' they have an appreciation for this GIFT we call LIFE.

This book has changed my life. I have lived with depression and anxiety four about 15 years. I have done treatments with counseling, medication, exercise, diet, prayer, meditation, relationship building, etc., and I still have dealt with a large amount of both depression and anxiety.After reading this book 15 minutes a day for about 6 weeks, my depression has significantly decreased! This book, paired with a vigorous routine of positivity and a fighting mentality, has brought me to the best place I've ever been in my emotional health! It's amazing. Reading this daily can truly change your mindset and change how you think, giving you hope for the future! I would strongly recommend this book to anyone looking to make breakthroughs in their life, relationships, energy levels, and overall health.

I am biased since after reading Norman Vincent Peale's "Power of Positive Thinking" so this other book rates well on my personal list. It strengthens a lot of the pronciples of his ither works. If you are a Christian, then read this book. If not, then pass it up. Dr. Peale was a Protestant Minister who was able to incoporate life principles with Christian living and it works! Trust me, read his books starting with "Positive Thinking" and keep an open mind and you will have a changed life. It worked for me,

Great advice and a very inspiring book. Many years ago, I had the good fortune of coming across The Power of Positive Thinking, and I copied some verses Dr. Peale cited from the Bible, made it a point to learn them, and discovered that by putting my self in God's hands, He guided me through personal difficulties I was experiencing at that time. Now I needed to be reminded how important it is to recover and maintain the enthusiasm, which is the drive that motivate us to continue growing spiritually. Thank you, Dr. Peale!!!

There's a difference between a positive attitude and enthusiasm. You can have a positive attitude about things, but without enthusiasm, not only will nobody know, nothing gets done. Enthusiasm is the link between believing you can do something and actually getting it done. Dr. Peale tells many wonderful stories with examples of exactly how so many people, both famous and ordinary, who have done exactly that.

I've read many "self-help" books - most of the classics - and couldn't believe that this one escaped me. Superb book that traces many of the popular principles for positive thinking right back to the Holy Bible. Highly recommended read. Inspiring.

Peale writes with insight. Worth reading.

at first I was a bit put off by his religious fervor, but once you understand his point of view, it becomes more palatable.

A must read

The author is a good writer. But only problem is that usually his books propagate Christianity.
