Quotes by Norman Vincent Peale

Norman Vincent Peale (1898–1993) — Pastor, Autor · Reformiert · USA

Norman Vincent Peale war ein US-amerikanischer reformierter Pastor und Autor, der von 1932 bis 1984 die Marble Collegiate Church in New York City leitete. Bekannt wurde er vor allem durch seinen Bestseller „Die Kraft positiven Denkens“ (1952), in dem er christlichen Glauben mit psychologischen Methoden zur Lebensbewältigung verband. Während seine Sinnsprüche bis heute zur Ermutigung zitiert werden, sehen theologische Kritiker in seinem Ansatz eine problematische Verengung biblischer Botschaften auf individuelle Selbstoptimierung und irdischen Erfolg.
