The Power of Positive Thinking

These are the words of Norman Vincent Peale, a graduate of Boston's School of Theology, later to become a Methodist clergyman and pastor.

Extremely popular at the time, some may recall seeing grandparents reading through its pages during times of distress or uncertainty.

Having sold over 5 million copies in over 40 languages, Peale could be viewed as one of the most significant influencers of his time.
