I was recommended this author by my cousin. I have heard about this homo for many years but never read any of his books until this year.

It started out pretty expert just I gradually lost involvement with the constant talk most himself, his life, his wife, kids..etc. I understand he was speaking about them and the events as examples, only for some reason it just felt to me that he was a flake, bragging?, IDK. Information technology just turned me off. Pitiful.

I was recommended this author past my cousin. I have heard about this man for many years just never read any of his books until this year.

Information technology started out pretty practiced but I gradually lost interest with the constant talk about himself, his life, his wife, kids..etc. I understand he was speaking about them and the events as examples, but for some reason information technology just felt to me that he was a bit, bragging?, IDK. It just turned me off. Sorry.

Don't go me wrong, I am very happy he has a perfect life. I am as well glad to come across he shares his wisdom of spiritual enlightenment with the globe. That he spreads the cognition. I only don't enjoy the way he executes information technology. Information technology doesn't speak to me. I prefer Eckhart Tolle. I adopt a more than educational..for lack of a better word..or cognitive..method of conveying it.

I suppose that since I am besides not a fan of poetry, which he begins every chapter with, didn't help much either.

Perhaps one day I will come back and read it. Correct at present I take other books I demand to read.

I admittedly like pretty much annihilation Dr. Dyer writes. This is the one book of his that I turn to almost daily. I bought it about x years ago and it still has something new to tell me. My brother recited from memory "When Y'all Are Old" by Yeats at my Grandmothemr's funeral and I hadn't ever heard it all the manner through.

It was equally if Yeats was writing nearly a adult female he would never meet...Byrd Douglas Smith Moore. Dr. Dyer explains that Yeats married late in life and this poem was his annunciation of love not just for romance but for adoration of your love's "pilgrim soul and the sorrows of your changing face." I read 1 section every couple of days and it has amused me how different poems accept meant something different to me as I age and life shows me new challenges each year. Like Michelango's "the greater danger for virtually of us is not that our aim is too high and nosotros miss it, but that it is besides low and nosotros reach it." Never meant much untill each birthday reminds me of the low level of my aim. What I beloved about this volume is I really feel Dr. Dyer'southward admiration and love for each author. He listens, reports and opens up the reader's listen to translate these writings for the self. ...more

I found keen value in this piece of work, and as such, highly recommend it. Hither's a really swell quote from it:

"To see the absurdity of impatience in your life, prepare your lookout man ahead several hours and tear off several months on y'all wall calendar. Then see if you take advanced time! The failures and frustrations, along with the immediate successes, are a role and parcel of the perfection of it all. Past observing nature—your nature and the natural globe around you—you will come across that you must allow a wound to progress at its ain pace; to eat a fig you must first let it flower, put forth fruit, and ripen.

This book shows us the style to detect the best life for ourselves. This volume shows the path which has been written beautifully past one of the greatest writers who was early for his time but sadly today 'late ' word is used with his name.
I believe everyone has a part of God inside themself and they just demand to channel it. But when I read Wayne Dyer I think that he himself is no less than a God!

Must read for everyone only non for ones who exercise non want to change...

This volume was fantastic. Each private chapter was filled with wisdom. Wayne Dyer has a cracking voice and wonderful way of breaking down quotes written by such wonderful minds as Leonardo DaVinci to Mark Twain; he shares them in a way anyone can empathise and chronicle to.

A cute option of poetry and some beautiful insights although hearing about the Dyer's birth control methods in the final chapter did brand me laugh enough to startle my true cat.

There'due south a lot of criticism about Dyer being egotistical and although he does tend to talk about himself I feel he just uses examples from his own life.

But yes the birth command methods. If I were Saje I'd find it hilarious.

Wise, funny, insightful and grounded in real life examples.

I dear you lot Wayne 🤣

A drove of inspirational teachings from a cross department of writers, philosophers, sages, gurus, through out history with the authors explanation how these pieces of wisdom helped him along his journey to forgiveness for his male parent afterward his decease. I really enjoyed information technology particularly every bit it introduced me to the piece of work of some people I had non heard of before like Rumi.

Expert compilation by Mr. Wayne Dyer

I think Mr. Dyer choose to make life easier for us by throwing low-cal on numerous topics that matter to any one interested in living a decent life. One needs to exist patient and read one topic per solar day. If one does that , you become gear up for peaceful existence.

The author selects quotes from some of the most recognized artists and philosophers in history, mainly poets, and discusses how we can apply the wisdom in these quotes to brand improvements in our own lives.

iv.5 Audio, Wayne Dyer has a vocalisation I could listen to all twenty-four hour period. This book had so many treasures. I never realized that I enjoyed poesy! Not everything was to my taste only it was a treat all the same and ane that I will definitely revisit

This book was like taking a literature form on great writings throughout the ages. Information technology was bully because Dr. Wayne Dyer and so tells how you lot can put all these great works to utilise in your own life past taking advice from these bang-up writers.

Although there are many interesting self-assistance books this is not 1 of those. I actually enjoyed the quotes in the beginning of each chapter merely the residue of felt similar superficial advice/repeating phrases and ideas.

One time again you take done it. RIP Dr Dyer

I woke every morning for 60 days and read a chapter. What a great book! I accept learned so much and I tin't wait to read information technology again in 2020.

This book started out alright for me, just then it got very tedious and repetitive. Information technology seemed similar the same message over and over, some places with fifty-fifty basically the aforementioned lines.

And its non that I disagree with the message and premise of this book, it's just that it's so ingrained and basic to me, that it doesnt really stir me or move me, if that's all it is. If there's null else to information technology?
And so to me this book was sort of a waste of time. Or I could have just saved myself some precious reading time, and read a few capacity and and so moved on.
So as much every bit we're working for the same cause, I doubt I volition be coming back to any more Wayne Dyer books, because there'due south much to agree on - but non much to learn. ...more than

Wayne Dyer shines equally a piece of brilliant crystal as he holds upward the wisdom of the ages for all to see through his collection of essays written about quotations from the "Wise of the Ages."

He includes Jesus, Shakespeare, Ghandi, Michelangelo, Emerson and near 55 more souls that shook the world. His essays are inviting, like shooting fish in a barrel to read, and concise. I found myself enjoying virtually every passage. The author takes a short few pages to lay out in his words what was meant past the quotation chosen for that chapter. Though curt, the essay never feels rushed, and I always institute a feeling of abyss.

It is the kind of book that is so useful, that I discover myself revisiting passages based on my mood, inspiration, or lack thereof.
