When it comes to Osteen’s writing styles in his book Your Best Life Now, a lot of people have one opinion. They all mention that his inspirational capabilities are far greater than what his smiles hold. Well of course, as Your Best Life Now is said to be really effective when it comes to helping readers live their lives to the fullest.

Osteen structures his book by giving seven steps to his readers namely ‘Enlarge Your Vision’, ‘Develop a Healthy Self-Image’, ‘Discover the Power of Your Thoughts’, ‘Let Go of the Past’, ‘Find Strength Through Adversity’, ‘Live to Give’ and ‘Choose to be Happy’. The opening of the book kicks off by Osteen telling a quick story of a discussion that took place between him and his friend about a place in Hawaii. His friend states that he could not think of himself being able to live in such a good place. Osteen then contradicted his friend through saying that everything we plan to achieve in life could only be possible by having a vision of it.

It was a great start for the book, and a good way for Osteen to open the minds of his readers. By telling readers that opening their thoughts is the key for all things to be possible, he shares a quick ideal for his readers and he also preps them to be ready for all the things he would talk about later on. He continues with his next chapters, following a good flow of lecturing. However, in one specific chapter, Osteen gives a message about giving our power to God. And even though he had good intention in mind as he wrote this, the outlining of his thought depicts a misleading message that everyone should let go of their responsibilities and just let God take care of everything. Over-all, Your Best Life Now does contain a lot of inspirational context.
