Practical, common sense thinking

This book has a religious basis, though I believe its principles are useful to anyone regardless of his religious beliefs or lack of belief. The book talks about having confidence and persistence toward achieving a valued goal, pursuing the means toward that goal ethically, and trying every ethical alternative to achieve that goal. The book talks about God, but there are many definitions and conceptions of God, other than Christian. The book talks about the Bible and its stories and there are many ways to interpret the Bible other than literally. The point is this to me: Peale's advice is common sense and practical for those looking to improve their attitude and approach to life whether they are traditionally religious or not. Browse through the book and decide for yourself. It's well written and an easy read.
