"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. No one has yet written a serious and broad-ranging treatment and history of the positive-thinking movement. Until now. For all its influence across popular culture, religion, politics, and medicine, this psycho-spiritual movement remains a maligned and misunderstood force in modern life. Its roots are unseen and its long-range impact is unacknowledged. It is often considered a cotton-candy theology for New Agers and self-help junkies. In response, One Simple Idea corrects several historical misconceptions about the positive-thinking movement and introduces us to a number of colorful and dramatic personalities, including Napoleon Hill and Norman Vincent Peale, whose books and influence have touched the lives of tens of millions across the world." -- from publisher's website.… (mer)

The History of the New Thought Movement

This is an excellent history of a movement which has had a big influence on our popular culture -- from "Think and Grow Rich" to "The Secret". It's influence has been felt in religion, politics and business. Highly recommended. ( )

I received this as an early review book. It was so boring I couldn't finish it and I rarely give up on a book. ( )

Thorough and well-researched, nicely written, my only complaint was one of execution. I expected a common conceptual thread to emerge throughout the book (to aid in my understanding of these various metaphysical philosophies), but it never did for me. It provided a good history of the individuals who influenced these thoughts, but in the end I don't feel I really got a cohesive understanding of the "idea" behind all these philosophies. Besides some facts (names, dates etc), I didn't end the book feeling like I understood the philosophical ideas. Probably a better book for someone who already understands the philosophy and is looking for a historical account. I received a copy from Goodreads giveaways. ( )

The art of thinking positively has become an integral part of American Culture. One Simple Idea traces the movements roots throughout history. Readers are given an intimate and comprehensive look at the different movers and shakers who helped to ensure positive thinking would be successful in America. I had no idea how old the movement was or all the different flavors that we have seen. I only wish that the chapters had been smaller or it was organized in an easier to digest format. There was so much information, that at times it was overwhelming. It is well written and a vast and interesting topic but suffers from tedious chapters. ( )

It's a well-researched book . But also very boring . The author spends most of the book discussing the people involved in the movement and very little discussion devoted to the ideas . If you're looking for a biography on the people , then you might like this book . But not if you're expecting more of a philosophy discussion. ( )
