A decent self-help book. Comes from a Christian perspective. Full of anecdotes from successful people. I liked the writing style, with lots of alliteration.

This book was very typical of Schuller's writings. A lot of positive thinking phrases but very little substance.

Book of divine wisdom and practical teachings. Reverend Schuller wrote with compassion and intelligence. His teachings on positivity have stayed with me some. I definitely recommend this book.
