More About This Book

Overview

The simple act of offering a kind word or two can have power to change lives in positive and profound ways.

In TEN POWERFUL PHRASES FOR POSITIVE PEOPLE, DeVos focuses each chapter on one key phrase, such as "I'm Proud of You," or "I Believe in You," that he has found to help individuals overcome differences, build relationships, instill confidence, change attitudes, and generally make us feel positive about ourselves and about helping others. Each phrase is illustrated through anecdotes from DeVos's experiences and about people whose lives have been touched either by saying or hearing one of the small but powerful phrases. Anyone with the ability to offer a kind word to a friend, family member, or coworker will benefit from this book's positive, practical wisdom.

    My Favorite

    Written by the co-founder of Amway, a positive-thinking guy, this 5" x 7" self-help book is the perfect size to carry along with you. It can be read in snatches as each of the ten phrases has its own chapter. The author practices being a "life enricher." From a Christian businessman's perspective, this book gives the reader a handle on the art of positive thinking. Use it as a resource tool. It's a favorite of mine.

    Reviewed by Debra Gaynor for ReviewYourBook.com, 12/08

    Rich DeVos shares his expertise as a successful motivational speaker in his book Ten Powerful Phrases for Positive People. DeVos emphasizes the benefits of keeping a positive attitude and encouraging others.
    There are 10 positive phrases emphasized in this book: ¿I¿m sorry, I¿m wrong, You can do it, I believe in you, I¿m proud of you, Thank you, I need you, I trust you, I respect you, and I love.¿ People want to be around positive people. In the introduction DeVos quotes Philippians 4:7-9 (NIV): ¿Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable¿if anything is excellent or praiseworthy¿thing about such things.¿
    I now have this verse hanging on my wall, so I can remind myself each morning to look on the positive side of life and never dwell on the negative. DeVos writes in a simple, easy-to-understand style. Ten Powerful Phrases for Positive People may be a small book, but it has a large message.

    Rich is a very sincere gent. His life and what he stands for does speak to anyone and very one!!! To talk his words and to speak his life is one great thing,as he states his daily life is what we should all already know and act upon it in a daily basis. This might be onsided to some. His life is just not made of words but of daily actions. To those of us who are wanting to make a real difference in your life. And the impact will affect those of any life skills, aspect or just simple way of learning and applying their teachings.

    Another book that I will refer to for the rest of my life...Powerful!

    I noticed this book as I was walking into my bookstore cafe hangout and as soon as I saw it, I knew without a doubt that I had to read it. Rich DeVos is not only Co-Founder of Amway Corporation, but he is one of the most influential men in West Michigan who's name you see on so many buildings downtown, on regional university and college campuses, and more. I don't know DeVos personally, but his influence is so evident here in Grand Rapids alone and knowing that he is a Godly leader, I had to purchase this book and see what I could adopt from his life into mine...

    I purchased this book with the hopes that it could help me pursue a more positive outlook on life because I admit to needing a tremendous amount of improvement in this area of my life... I admit this with a thankful heart that God not only exposes these areas in my life to me, but provides a means for improvement. I truly believe that DeVos has touched my life through this book and plan to keep it at arms reach so that I can often refer to it to make sure that I am using each of the 10 powerful phrases in it each and every day...

    "I discovered that the more I talked about being positive, the more poeple wanted to hear." - DeVos

    Great book Rich! Love ya!
