About this book
"If you want to live in this tough world and still have some real faith and optimism, this book is for you." -- Norman Vincent Peale
The many ills of the modern world can be debilitating. With so much seemingly senseless violence, pain, and destruction, we need a lot of inner strength to overcome cynicism and despair -- and to remain hopeful about the future. With Dr. Peale's careful guidance, you can achieve happiness and security by learning how to:
Conquer your fear
Free yourself of guilty feelings
Live well and prosper, personally and professionally
Become physically healthy -- the natural way
Stay enthusiastic even in poor circumstances
Tackle problems hopefully and creatively
Harness the power of prayer
