This guy is not a Christian. He says he is but it's always "be happy for yourself" and not "be happy for God." His focus is all ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME. No Christian should read any of his books

This book came to me at a time when I really needed it. I learned so much and it was so inspirational to me during a very hard time in my life. I owe that to God and I owe it to Joel Osteen for writing this book and encouraging me to move forward at this valley in my life.

Absolutely loved this book, can't wait to read more of Joel's books!!

This book has really help me with how I think how I look at people I hope to see more books like this....

Some so-called Christians are the most bitter, unhappy people I've ever met. They are missing God's message and that's sad to me. If you find negativity in this book, or Joel, you really need to find a new pastor because you just aren't getting it. No, we can't be happy 100% of the time because there are times for mourning and other heartaches. If you don't have the common sense to understand that then no book will help you. I feel sorry for those who gave a negative review. You really need to ask God to change your bitter heart. WTG Joel! Great book and as always, great message!

I love hearing about myself all the time. I think good thoughts about me all day and do go things for others when I can stop thinking about myself and thats probably never. Gret job Joel on all your message, they are not very biblical or sound doctrine, But Hey who needs that anyway, the bible is a old book any how, maybe Joel should write a new bible and we could arrive and become Joelitians. YES...... I used to think about jesus, but after hearing Joel I thought to myself who needs jesus anyway I got Joel. And even better than him I got ME, and I feel fine.

Great book!!

This book will convince you to try to at a minimum catch yourself being negative. Over time, with practice I will be a more positive person. I won't feel guilty about my blessings because they come from God.

This book is helping me to realize my many blessings, it could not be any any easier. Only started reading this yesterday and already feel uplifted from my depression! Thank you Joel!

I hated to see it end. I truly enjoyed reading page after page as I began my morning. Joel sees the glass half full and has helped me continue to see life this way.
