Yet no one has examined how this one simple idea--to think positively--has morphed from metaphysics into mass belief. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eOne Simple Idea\u003c\/i\u003e, Mitch Horowitz tracks the history of the positive-thinking movement from its pioneers to its most dramatic personalities, including Dale Carnegie and Norman Vincent Peale. Positive thinking has been the root of studies on the placebo effect, the 12-step approach to overcoming addition, and the mind-body connection in treating illness. And it is central to the American idea of success, as seen in political messages like Ronald Reagan's \"Nothing is impossible\" or President Obama's \"Yes, we can\" and slogans such as the U.S. Army's \"Be all you can be\" and Nike's \"Just do it.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis paperback edition includes new exercises and methods, which readers can use to test the validity of positive-mind mechanics in their daily lives. \u003ci\u003eOne Simple Idea\u003c\/i\u003e answers the age-old question--\u003ci\u003eDoes it work?\u003c\/i\u003e--and shows that, yes, positive thinking can change the world.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMitch Horowitz is the author of \"Occult America,\" which received the 2010 PEN Oakland\/ Josephine Miles Award for literary excellence.
