Summary

From the millions-strong audiences of Oprah and The Secret to the mass-media ministries of evangelical figures like Joel Osteen and T. D. Jakes, to the motivational bestsellers and New Age seminars to the twelve-step programs and support groups of the recovery movement and to the rise of positive psychology and stress-reduction therapies, this idea - to think positively - is metaphysics morphed into mass belief. This is the biography of that belief.

Truly recommend

Listening to this audiobook, you can tell how the author deep dived in researching the lives of the pioneers from early to modern days. I had never heard of some of the people mentioned but mention of them in a book about positive thinking was sure warranted. Being a historian probably played a good role in the author delivering an amazing body of work.
The narration is as good!

A great primer.

A Tour de force in my humble opinion. An excellent crystallisation of the history and influence of Positive thinking. Read this for a great understanding of where 'The Secret' and it's ilk came from.
