Hey, before we get into the final episode of our Capitalism series, we want to remind you that you can test all you learned from the series tonight.

We're going out with a bang with three rounds of Capitalism-based trivia that you can play by yourself or with a team.

And if you win, you'll take home a three-month subscription to the MPR Coffee Club and a throughline t-shirt.

And if you don't, well, you'll still get to hang and have fun with us in a trivia-mystro Terry Simon.

Join us on Zoom tonight, July 8th at 8 p.m. Eastern, for a special Capitalism edition of Throughline Trivia.

Go RSVP and get more info at nprpresence.org.

Okay, on with the show.

This is Norman Vincent Peele.

What I have in mind to do is to give a little discussion on this subject how to make positive thinking work for you.

Norman Vincent Peele is a bit of a theological outlier. Like a lot of these modern spiritual entrepreneurship printers, he kind of slammed it around a bit.

At the end of the 19th century, it comes into the 20th. He's beating all of these big automakers, oil people.

So he's right there in the middle of this sort of capitalist kind of thing.

What is positive thinking?

When he writes his book, The Power of Positive Thinking, which you can still find, probably in every use book store in the country.

He's like, if you think positively, you're going to get all of these things.

Life can be wonderful. You want the moon? Just say the word and I'll throw a lasso around it, pull it down.

The book is really just a series of success mantras.

You can, if you think you can.

Drawing from scripture. God bless you and best wishes.

God says it. I can have it. I believe it. That settles it.

Get up every morning, look in the mirror and repeat over and over again. You know, some variation of...

You can, whatever, if you can dream of.
