Known as “God’s salesman,” Peale merged worldliness and godliness to produce an easy-to-follow theology that preached self-confidence as a life philosophy. Critics called him a con man, described his church as a cult, and said his simple-minded approach shut off genuine thinking or insight. But Peale’s outlook, promoted through his radio shows, newspaper columns and articles, and through Guideposts, his monthly digest of inspirational messages, fit perfectly into the Trump family culture of never hesitating to bend the rules, doing whatever it took to win, and never, ever giving up.
even if it meant raping his way to the top

>“Believe in yourself!” Peale’s book begins. “Have faith in your abilities!” He then outlines 10 rules to overcome “inadequacy attitudes” and “build up confidence in your powers.” Rule one: “formulate and staple indelibly on your mind a mental picture of yourself as succeeding,” “hold this picture tenaciously,” and always refer to it “no matter how badly things seem to be going at the moment.”
>First: Be bold, and mighty forces will come to your aid. The person who is afraid cuts himself off from the flow of power, but when you venture boldly, there comes a flow of power in response.
>Second: Deny adverse conditions. Don't go around saying or thinking: "Conditions are against me." Face facts, but realize that it often happens that a person is defeated not so much by the facts of a situation as by his negative interpretation of the facts. In every problem there is an inherent good. Believe that.
>Third: Picture good outcomes. By envisioning good things, you actually bring good influences into play, both within yourself and in the world around you.
>Fourth: Pray for every person you meet with by name, that he or she may benefit from the dealings you have with him or her.
>Fifth: Practice Christian love toward everybody.
Interesting but that's not the set of rules I'm looking for...
And I can only find them here in that "obviously repulsive" book
"Rule one: “formulate and staple indelibly on your mind a mental picture of yourself as succeeding,"
