What We Think

About as non-woke as it gets. 'The Power of Positive Thinking' is a pure dose of traditional values and personal responsibility, with not a hint of modern ideology or agenda-driven narrative.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The book is straightforward, focused entirely on personal growth through faith and optimism. There's no hint of sacrificing narrative or shoehorning in identity politics, just good old-fashioned self-help advice. Diversity casting isn't on the radar, and all lessons stem from the author’s worldview, not imposed social ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

If anything, it's the definition of traditional cultural values! Religion (specifically Christianity), family, and conventional morality are all championed unabashedly. Peale's whole thesis is that faith and positivity grounded in these values build individuals and societies.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While it sticks closely to one worldview (Christian, pro-family, self-reliance), this isn't the kind of 'ideological conformity' we see in woke materials. Alternative views aren’t mocked; they’re just, well, not really discussed. The book assumes a like-minded, traditional audience but doesn’t aggressively shut out alternatives either.
