Publisher Description
Joyce Meyer has a knack for coining phrases-her fans call them Joyceisms-and one of her best loved is "Where the mind goes, the man follows." This was the basis for Battlefield of the Mind, and in her latest book, Meyer provides "power thoughts," bringing the reader to a new level of ability to use the mind as a tool to achievement.
In Power Thoughts, she outlines a flexible program to turn thoughts into habits, and habits into success. Sections include:
The Power of a Positive You
5 Rules for Keeping Your Attitude at the Right Altitude
More Power To You bulleted keys to successful thinking in each chapter
The Power of Perspective
Nobody has more of a "can-do" attitude than Joyce Meyer. Now you can, too.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bestselling author and TV preacher Meyer takes a step beyond her bestseller Battlefield of the Mind. She offers a 12-step program to help readers conquer the negativity that naturally plagues the mind, leaving readers free to enjoy life and pursue their goals. Using themes from other books in her ample catalogue worry, perseverance, managing emotions Meyer breaks her suggestions into several digestible lists, backed by a "Power Pack" of Bible verses at the end of each chapter. She offers enthusiastic encouragement, but also requires action, here in the form of practice, discipline, and continual meditation on the 12 motivational thoughts. Critics of the positive thinking movement (Meyer obliquely acknowledges a debt to the pioneering Norman Vincent Peale) will continue to find downsides in this book, among them failure to sufficiently acknowledge the pain of suffering and an ignorance of intractable mental illness. Critics of Meyer will say she sounds like an infomercial ("You will see amazing results"). Yet her many fans will continue to appreciate her upbeat attitude and her ability to offer practical tips on the toughest topics.
Customer Reviews
POWER THOUGHTS by Joyce Meyers
I've been a Christian for 45 years and this is the first time I've read anything that has moved me to action as much as "Power Thoughts". It is easy to read, yet packed with information and great, practical ways to change your life for the better. I will be recommending this read to everyone I know.
Rather evangelical
I was not aware when I purchased this book of the reputation of the author as someone with a very literal interpretation of the bible. Her constant reference to satan and hell may not be for everyone. She has many good things to say but I found it less of a self help book and more of a biblical teaching book.
