  The Power of Positive Thinking...

  “A fresh perspective on work and life . . . [a] highly reassuring volume that makes Dr. Peale’s mission surprisingly fresh.” —Publishers Weekly 
   
  One of the most powerful forces in business today is the positive psychology movement—overcoming self-defeating attitudes and developing our talents and positive traits. Much of the new thinking, in fact, stems directly from the concepts in Norman Vincent Peale’s great classic bestseller, The Power of Positive Thinking, which has been translated into forty-two languages and has sold over 22 million copies. 
   
  Now, after years of extensive research and field testing, working in cooperation with the Peale Center and major corporations nationwide, Scott Ventrella has adapted those concepts into a systematic program for people in business to achieve greater levels of personal and professional performance. The Power of Positive Thinking in Business provides a practical way for each of us to develop and actually strengthen the ten traits of a positive thinker. Inevitably, our performance rises to new levels when we learn how to overcome negative attitudinal barriers such as fear, lack of self-confidence, and low self-esteem, and instead develop the traits that characterize a positive thinker: optimism, enthusiasm, belief, integrity, courage, confidence, determination, patience, calmness, and focus. Together, rational thinking and the ten traits of a positive thinker can turn defeatist behavior into productive actions that will overcome the toughest of challenges with powerful, positive results. 
   
  Best of all, these practical yet powerful concepts are applicable to businesspeople at all levels, disciplines, and functions within an organization, and have been adapted to appeal to people of all faiths.

Here is the rags-to-riches story of Popeil, the man who sliced, diced, and julienned his way into our hearts and wallets—             packed with hands-on, nuts-and-bolts guidance on how anyone with a product idea can make big money.
