From the introduction: "Tradition has it that every American child receives, as part of his birthright, the freedom to mold his own life. . . . However inaccurate as a description of American society, the success myth reflects what millions believe that society is or ought to be. The degree to which opportunity has or has not been available in our society is a subject for empirical investigation. It rests within the realm of verifiable fact. The belief that opportunity exists for all is a subject for intellectual analysis and rests within the realm of ideology. This latter dimension of the success myth is the primary focus of this book."

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.

What Would You Give to Lead a Bold, Satisfying, and Successful Life? Author Mitch Horowitz (“solid gold”—David Lynch) asks you to give one thing: your mental focus for just 30 days. In The 30-Day Mental Challenge, Mitch guides you through one simple exercise—so simple, in fact, that you may not believe it can change anything. But, like thousands who have tried, you will be surprised. You are to direct your thoughts for 30 days toward what is productive, forwarding, and promising—and to believe that every reasonable ambition is within your reach. That’s it. Simple as it sounds, however, this exercise places you in front of tremendous and unforeseen challenges. Hence, Mitch guides you—with realism, bluntness, and authentic ideals—through each day to help you stay on track, contend with pitfalls (which are many), and witness concrete results. Effort is all it takes. Will you try? Many have said yes only to drop off. Many others have stayed on. Their testimonies appear in the book, including: “I always dismissed the ‘positive thought’ movement as something somehow beneath me, preferring complicated and arduous meditation and nuanced esoteric rituals for my own self-improvement journey…These meditations have been a lifesaver during a very challenging time. No lie.” “This has been transformative beyond expectation.” “The 30-day challenge has helped me overcome so many obstacles and I feel so grateful. Magick is real and man, it is such a beautiful, positive thing!” Your time is now. Join The 30-Day Mental Challenge.

Entries cover a range of topics, including food, entertainment, fashion, music, and language. Why could hula hoops and TV westerns only have been found in every household in the 1950s?
