The Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale (1952)
《积极思考的力量》(The Power of Positive Thinking),作者:诺曼•文森特•皮尔(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.”
不要眉头紧锁:二战后的美国一片繁荣,一切似乎都蒸蒸日上,并且会一直持续下去,皮尔乐观地编写出一套旨在“解决日常生活难题”的简单程序。他忠告读者:不要被击败。这本书“只有一个目的:帮助读者获得幸福美满、有价值的生活。”
