Since Peale wasn’t a scientist, many mental experts disregarded the ideas from his book, and it received a lot of both favorable and highly critical feedback. However, it’s hard to deny the real-world impact his ideas have had, he himself being living proof that they work – after a long and by any measures successful life, he died at age 95 on Christmas Eve in 1993. 

It’s not every day that you get to learn from someone who’s received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, so let’s not waste time, shall we?
It is believed that there are several elements that go into being successful such as talent, work ethic, education, background, motivation, desire, opportunity, and luck. Peale wants to disregard many of these components of success and says it is mainly faith in your self and God and that is why thinking positive, with the correct habits will create everlasting success, which usually correlates with happiness.

So have faith in your abilities and seek to partner with a power higher than yourself to achieve your goals.
Furthermore, surround yourself with fellow lions and avoid the naysayers and people encompassed by the ‘what-ifs’ and ‘it cannot be done’.

Also, make sure to build people up in anyway you can and seek to find the good in them. This will help you change your outlook on life.

Overall, Peale’s book is a classic that helped people find ways of dealing with problems and become whole & healthy and that is why I recommend it to everyone.

 The way to happiness: keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry. Live simply, expect little, give much. Fill your life with love. Scatter sunshine. Forget self, think of others. Do as you would be done by. Try this for a week and you will be surprised. — Norman Vincent Peale
