The Power of Positive Living with the subtitle “Everyday Psychology for Getting What You Want out of Life” by Douglas Lurton was among the first modern self-help books. It was published in 1950 and readers of recent self-help literature might find a lot of similarities to the unspoken number of books on the market now. Even the front cover looks like the cover of Eckhart Tolles “The Power of Now”. Books like “The Power of Positive Thinking,” and “The Power of Habit” and many more comes to mind. The Power of Positive Living, however, does not have any spiritual angle to the topic. It deals with modern psychology and how to apply it in order to live a better life. Today some would call this approach cognitive bias or framing psychology – in other words: to see the glass as half full rather than half empty. Download the free PDF e-book here Read more
