Testing Peale's positive thinking thesis


I

n the early 1950s Norman Vincent Peale wrote about the Power of Positive Thinking.

Such a stance is invaluable, but difficult to sustain in the face of the ever mounting evidence alerting us to the unfolding seriousness of global warming.

Adherence to a simple mental process will not solve the problem, of course unless those thought are about significant changes to human beliefs and our behaviour.

The latest in the unsettling news comes from EcoWatch that reports on the latest finding from the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration that tells us - “NOAA: July Was Hottest Month Ever Worldwide”.
