The Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale (1952)
《積極思考的力量》(The Power of Positive Thinking),作者:諾曼•文森特•皮爾(1952年)
Turn that frown upside-down: In the relentlessly upbeat world of post-World War II America, where everything seemed like it was on the rise and always would be, Peale optimistically codified simple procedures for “mastering the problems of everyday living.” Don’t be defeated, he counsels. The book “is written with the sole objective of helping the reader achieve a happy, satisfying, and worthwhile life.”
不要眉頭緊鎖:二戰后的美國一片繁榮,一切似乎都蒸蒸日上,并且會一直持續下去,皮爾樂觀地編寫出一套旨在“解決日常生活難題”的簡單程序。他忠告讀者:不要被擊敗。這本書“只有一個目的:幫助讀者獲得幸福美滿、有價值的生活。”
