I bought a few motivational and inspirational books written by Dr. Norman Vincent Peale. The most famous book that he has written is entitled “The Power of Positive Thinking”. He has written a series of such positive thinking books after his best seller.

Among all of the positive thinking books written by Dr. Peale, I like his “Courage and Confidence” the most. This book is an anthology compiled and edited by him. It is a collection of great works of the inspired writers, thoughts of great men, anecdotes of remarkable people. The material inside the “Courage and Confidence” book is arranged in twelve sections. Each section offers a different approach to such individual concerns as how to banish fear, loving and being loved, the art of thankfulness, the power of prayer, how to find happiness and so on.

I bought this “Courage and Confidence” book in August 1992. The book has turned yellowish after 16 years. I have taken a picture of this wonderful book and this is how it looks like :

I like this book because it gives me courage whenever I feel down. There are many meaningful and inspirational quotes found inside the “Courage and Confidence” book.
Sometimes, it is not easy to find a listening ear. Friends might not be there if I need someone to talk to. Everybody is busy with their own work and their own family. Nobody has the time to listen to somebody else trouble. This is understandable so I won’t expect my friends to spare their precious time to be with me and listen to my grumble. I advocate one should always share the joy with friends and keep the sorrow to oneself.

The “Courage and Confidence” book is a great and essential book to me. I often refer to it whenever I’m in a low-spirited mood. It gives me comfort, strength, courage and confidence. This is indeed a good book.
