About the author

Wayne Walter Dyer was an American self-help author and a motivational speaker. Dyer earned a Bachelor’s degree in History and Philosophy, a Master’s degree in Psychology and an Ed.D. in Guidance and Counseling at Wayne State University in 1970. Early in his career, he worked as a high school guidance counselor, and went on to run a successful private therapy practice. He became a popular professor of counselor education at St. John's University, where he was approached by a literary agent to put his ideas into book form. The result was his first book, Your Erroneous Zones (1976), one of the best-selling books of all time, with an estimated 100 million copies sold. This launched Dyer's career as a motivational speaker and self-help author, during which he published 20 more best-selling books and produced a number of popular specials for PBS. Influenced by thinkers such as Abraham H. Maslow and Albert Ellis, Dyer's early work focused on psychological themes such as motivation, self actualization and assertiveness. By the 1990s, the focus of his work had shifted to spirituality. Inspired by Swami Muktananda and New Thought, he promoted themes such as the "power of intention," collaborated with alternative medicine advocate Deepak Chopra on a number of projects, and was a frequent guest on the Oprah Winfrey Show.

LOVE WAYNE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wayne says he puts quotes and things on his walls to help him remember. If this was i 'real' book, not kindle, i would be tempted to just tear out the really good quotes all over this book and paste them on the wall. If you've read lots of Dyers books, then you will recognize most if not all the quotes. It's like the 'cole's notes' of his books.

Amazing book For Dr Wayne Dyer.
That`s what I can say.

[Mary · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love Wayne Dyer's work. This was full of many wise sayings along the lines of 'what people think of you is nome of your business' & 'you're not as important as you think you are'(for people who worry about what others think of them). It was a short, quick read. It's not what I expected as it went one phrase after the other with no commentary. Still was worth reading. Seemed like a review of many proverbs and quotes to reflect on.

Read and re read this book because it speaks to my soul. Wayne Dyer is such an inspiration to me. Forever in my heart.

[Carole Skees · Rating 3 out of 5]

A bit of a laundry list of quotes, but good enough to refer back from time to time.

[Brittany Benson · Rating 4 out of 5]

This short audiobook contained so many pieces of wisdom, and with wit and humor along the way! I enjoyed listening to it and will probably end up listening to it again.

"El secreto de la abundancia reside en dejar de concentrarte en lo que no tienes y proyectar tu atención consciente sobre el reconocimiento (gratitud) de todo lo que eres y todo lo que tienes"

"شخصيت سالم"

عشق و فداكاری را
نثار خانواده‌اش می‌كند اما
در روابطش
برای استقلال خود
بهای بسياری قائل است.

او هرگز جويای تأييد
و تحسين ديگران نيست.

گرچه نسبت به
تأثير تأييد و تشويق آگاه است
اما در پی اين نيست
كه هرگونه فرصت را مغتنم بشمرد
و احترام مردم را برای خود بخرد.

بسيار ساده و
صادق و بی‌تكلف است،
و از اين رو در گفتارش
تلاش نمی‌كند تا كلماتی برگزيند
كه سبب خشنودی مخاطبين باشد.

تمام اطلاعات و اخبار را
از صافی ذهن خود عبور می‌دهد
و بعد از پالايش و تطهير، آن را
برای رشد و تعالی خود
مورد استفاده قرار می‌دهد.

او به آسانی
از قوانين پرزرق و برق و بی‌معنی
چشم‌پوشی می‌كند.

A lovely way to review all the ways that we can help ourselves to live a God realised life. It is designed as something one would read/listen to over and over, to remind us how to stay on our life's path.

Unbelievable

I find it unbelievable that this great man can fill book after book of great quotes. These quotes will live forever and will be passed on from generation to generation. I will make sure of that!

[Carlos Vázquez · Rating 3 out of 5]

"Los pensamientos son medios que facilitan el que pueda suceder prácticamente cualquier cosa".
Muchos fragmentos cargados en sabiduría y sobre todo para poner en práctica. Todo lo más maravilloso que puede darnos la vida siempre saldrá primero de nuestro interior.

This little book is so powerful. I randomly turn to a page almost everyday and get some much needed wisdom.

[Rosa Talavera-Kaufman · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the most inspiring book I've ever read. It should be in everyone's library. I've created flashcards of my favorite passages.
