Lisa Rinna credits her confidence to discovering who she really was, not just performing a version of herself. Growing up emotionally disconnected, she learned that attitude matters more than facts, and that focusing on what she can control keeps her grounded. Norman Vincent Peale's The Power of Positive Thinking reshaped how she sees herself.
My crash course in acting. I really had to learn who I was first. I mean, I had really no confidence at this point. I had no idea who I was, what I thought, how I felt. Because when I grew up, you don't feel things, and you certainly don't say how you feel.
How long of a process is that for you to work through it?
Forever. I'm still in it. Chris,
one of the things I love about books is, like, this book will mean something different to you than it did in your 20s. Right. Equally as powerful.
I'm like a sponge, and I'm constantly evolving. Attitudes are more important than facts. Isn't that good?
So good.
Isn't that so good?
I want to focus on things I can affect. I know things that I have agency over.
We get so caught up in the little minutia, you forget about your curiosity, you forget about your drive.
You can't just live by cause and effect. You have to believe in something bigger.
Absolutely. That's why I'm an actor. That's why I am a performer. I want to move people, make them feel something and bring joy.
It's beautiful. So now.
Yes.
The big question.
Oh, geez. Oh, my nerves.
Are you ready?
I don't know.
How did the Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale change your life?
Well,
