Pealeism (Norman Vincent Pealeism)

The Christian philosophy of Rev. Dr. Norman Vincent Peale (d. 1993), author of the blockbuster The Power of Positive Thinking, The Amazing Results of Positive Thinking, and Positive Imaging. The core of Pealeism is that positive thinking, avoidance of negativism, fervent praying to a personal God, and visualization of goals together make for improvements in health and finances. Peale held that "a positive thought properly used" is the most powerful force in "this" universe, and that nothing is impossible.
