Print “The Power of Positive Thinking,” 1952, by Norman Vincent Peale, was on the New York Times Best Seller list for 186 consecutive weeks. The book blended a heady stew of religion-psychiatry with a light touch of bright shamanism, served with a creamy garlic sauce of Horatio Alger, and voila, a meal fit for a king or at worst a true believer, wanting to get ahead. This mid-century hunger spawned a pantheon of preachers who sermonized on the theology of the power of prosperity. My personal favorite was Frederick J. Eikerenkoetter II, better known to those of us who listened to his ministry, as Reverend Ike. “If you can see yourself in a Cadillac, then you will have the Cadillac.”
