The first topic in this book is believed in yourself. The writer asks the readers to have faith in our abilities. Without a humble but reasonable confidence in our own powers we cannot be successful or happy. But with self confidence we can succeed. A sense of inferiority interferes with the attainment of our hopes but self confidence leads to self realization and successful achievement. Because of the importance of this mental attitude, this book will help us to believe in ourselves and release our inner powers.
From this book, it will teach us to boost our confidence toward ourselves. As we know, lack of self- confidence apparently is one of the great problems besetting people today.

This is because, the book emphasize the importance of positive thinking in daily of our life. Thinking positive can educate us to think a good thing about other people. We will never think the bad sides about other people because positive thinking had been developed in our mindset. We also will feel relieve and satisfied if we able to help other people.

In this book, it was stated the words from the psychologist, William James which is “One of the deepest drivers of human nature is the desire to be appreciated.’ That is the magical words that always had been kept in my mind. The longing to be liked, to be held in esteem, to be a sought after person, all of these are fundamental thing for us. There are certain formulas and procedures which can make us as a person can enjoy satisfactory personal relationships even we are a difficult person or by nature shy and unsocial. The writer had been used the simple tools to help the readers who are lack of confidence to circle their relationships with other people. I am pretty sure if we read this book, we are capable to communicate with the strangers without any feeling of awkward. That is the promise of this book.
If I have the power of vote, I would like to give this motivation book full mark because I feel very satisfied with the idea and inspiration of this book. The writer successful constructs his own words with the simple and easy words so that the message from this book can be delivered clearly. In this book, the author successful finds out the best solution to get out from the problems which had been called positive thinking. Positive thinking is the only way to make our life joyful and happy.
Although this motivation book give a lot of benefits to the readers but it is still lack of guarantee to convincing the readers to practice the procedures of positive thinking for the whole of their life. As we know, people are easy to forget anything easily. I think most of the readers who read this book, only practicing the formula of positive thinking just for the short period time. They will only capable to work hard in practicing the positive thinking for only one until two weeks. That is a normal thing as a human nature. To make people keep on practicing the positive thinking formula in this book, I think the author should produce e-book which offers the audio and colorful map of the formula and procedures.
Another thing that should be reconsidered is the visual aid that can be shown in this book. As an ordinary people, we are been created to attract with the picture. Picture can grab our attention and mind to keep it remains in our mind. Have you ever heard the words ‘picture can tell 1001 stories’? That is the power of the image to disseminate the message quickly and efficiently. It is might be if the author deliver his message about the positive thinking through diagram, features or image, the readers will easy to remember it for the whole of their life.
However this book stills the one of the motivation book that can help me to improve my life to be the best person. It also guides me to strengthen my relationship with my beloved family, relatives, friends and my colleagues. I have a gut to face this life with confidence without any feeling of fear to achieve my goals. Beside that, this book brought me to another new phase to become a successful person. All of these things happen because of the gentle guide of the writer to attract us to make the positive thinking as the routine of our life. To people who are lack of self confidence and always feel down, the answer of their problem is the book of ‘The Power of Positive Thinking’ by Norman Vincent Peale. They will never feel regret with reading this book because after they are finish every topic in this book, they will experience a new changes, personality and behavioral.
