"Left me feeling positive and revitalized. A great book."
Unlike a few of the readers that had read his previous books, this was my first Wayne Dyer book. I have seen videos and listened to cassettes by him, but haven't been impressed by them. I feel he makes a better author than speaker. I do believe that we can each manifest our own destinies in life, and the steps he outlines- if followed, will bring a great measure of success into our lives. If his other books are equal to- or better than this one, I must read them. This book simply had a flow- which made it easy to read, and difficult to put down. Reading this book meant time well spent.

Dyer is a very wise, spiritual and generous man
I am not a fan of self help books. Like many people, I approach them with skepticism, maybe even think I am too smart for them, or go in with the attitude that the author's only intent is to try to make a quick buck.
All that, as a preface to say how wonderful this book is.
Dyer's suggestions not only work, but they are all rooted in the most high-minded concepts of love and faith. He has made the teachings of the New Testament come alive to me in a way I never learned in church -- though I do get more out of church having read his book.
This book is a masterpiece. My copy is dog-eared, and yet every time I open it, I am struck by his wisdom.
Manifest Your Destiny may sound like a new agey approach to taking, taking, taking from this world. Rather, it shows how living in love and faith attract all good things to you. I would have thought myself that this was too simplistic, but that is the talent and the wisdom of Dyer. Sometimes when I read this book, it feels almost like a holy text.
I might also note that while I realize Dyer is a very wealthy and famous author now, to read his works, I really believe he is a man who is interested most in helping people and bringing peace to the world.
If you want to buy one book about improving your life and living more in harmony and happiness, this is it!

The Guidebook to Success Based on Spiritual Principles
This is a "peak experience" book by this author. It shows how he has "arrived", succeeded in manifesting his destiny ... It is the culmination of all previous books written by Dr. Wayne Dwyer. He identifies the foundation of success by outlining and fusing basic principles from the Judeo-Christian perspective as well as Eastern religions and philosophies. The basics are 1) "becoming aware of your higher self". By recognizing one's connection between this world and the unseen world a person can transcend the limitations of the physical world and achieve personal goals, here and now. 2) "Trusting yourself is trusting in the wisdom that created you". In essence, to succeed and achieve anything starts with a belief and trust that it can be done. The corollaries to this are, admitting one's confusion and doubt, accepting that there is love and support because we are not alone but part of a higher divinity. Another principle is 3) recognizing the holographic nature of the universe, which means everyone is connected through the principle of consciousness and thought. Keeping one's desired manifestation secret allows less dispersal of one's personal energy to those who react and thereby direct one's energy elsewhere. Recognizing G-d's unconditional love frees a person up from becoming judgemental. You essentially become a compassionate witness to everyone and everything that is happening in your life. The source of creation is a loving peaceful energy, there is no need to force or apply pressure to this achievement. The practice of meditation is recommended to achieve harmony with the Spirit and Source of all things. He advocates the sounding of "om" in the evening and "ah" in the morning as standard rituals - highlighting that sound is the one energy in which we can participate. Dwyer states, "Sounds literally mold the abstract world of thought and spirit into shape." [p. 113, Harper Perennial, c. 1997]. He adds, "Keep in mind that sound is the vibrational frequency between the world of solid matter or form as we know it and the higher vibrational frequencies of the formless world of universal spirit." [p.114] Mental imagery of your desire is recommended to formulate that it is possible and already exists as real. One of the last principles is expressing gratitude and generosity after one has manifested one's desire. This last principle expands to a life of service on some level to share one's understanding, awareness, or achievement with humanity. This closes the circle of energy and love that we receive from Spirit and lets more of it manifest in the world.
This book is highly recommended. Erika Borsos (erikab93) Similar Products
