by Dr. Robert H. Schuller

Turn Adversity into Opportunity with Possibility Thinking

Even in the most discouraging situations — unemployment, poor health, loneliness, or fear — you can maintain high levels of success, satisfaction, and happiness. In Tough Times Never Last But Tough People Do, Dr. Robert H. Schuller draws from his own extraordinary personal hardships to teach you how to transform negative situations into opportunities for growth and achievement.

The secret lies in Possibility Thinking — a more active, action-oriented form of positive thinking that Schuller used to build one of the most influential ministries in America. His central truth: every problem has a limited lifespan, and how you mentally frame and respond to challenges determines whether they become crises or catalysts for greatness.
