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 DeVos has been a personal mentor of mine for many years without him ever knowing it. I have read all his books and even seen him speak.

Rich's new book (and I encourage you to read his prior releases as well) is like a pocket mentor. A short book filled with the most powerful words that can uplift, motivate and empower you to make others feel so good!

With much negativity out there today, the postive feeling one comes away with after reading Rich's book is overwhelming.

These will be my stocking stuffer for many Christmases to come.

Rich DeVos is an inspiration to all of us. This latest book reaffirms truths that need to be remembered.

I've read so much about the Rich DeVos and also his earlier books and I truly admire him for his principles and his achievements. I also like him for his humility and lack of flamboyance.

I'd like to think that the Orlando Magic derive their inpiration from him. I also hope the Magic win the NBA championship this year if only to prove that a non-star studded team can win a champrionship purely on inspiration and grit & determination.

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.

Chris Tegtmeyer

This is a powerful book! Powerful in it's simplicity, and in the personal nature of it's author, Rich DeVos. There's not anything new in the power phrases in this book, rather it's the daily use of these phrases, and how one of the richest and most respected men in America uses them to empower others. It deserves to be read daily.

A terrific book by a powerful, humbling man that adds awe inspiring tips on how to live our lives with more purpose and meaning. Thanks, Rich Devos, for yet another inspiring book by you. A must have to make your life fuller.
