This book awakened my spiritual search
I bought this book beacause I had read "Your Erroneous Zones" a year before and somewhat liked it. But this is WAY better. 20 years of self-development show the difference here.If you're not still in the spiritual bandwagon, this book will most likely change your life. And if you are already there, it will expand and, especially, nurture your search.
As the author says, this book is about miracles, about a new dimension in life. Maybe the most important thing you will find here is a kind of special motivation that is omnipresent throughout the book; you don't know where exactly, but something starts clicking on you and it goes on and on.
If you feel either disappointed or eager to learn some secrets of life, you can't go wrong with this book. I have read it three times and I think it is one of the finest works of its kind, and the best book from Wayne Dyer.

Serious contradictions in Dr. Dyer's advice and claims
I am confused by the things Dr. Dyer is telling us. I would really like to believe that it is possible to manifest everything I visualise, exactly as I visualise it. But it is common knowledge that this does not happen in life. So many of us have had so many dreams in which we really believed, and tried our best, but they did not materialise. In other words, the outcome was not what was visualised. What does Dr. Dyer have tosay about this ? He says you should not have any attachment to the outcome. That means, you detach yourself from results, and you will feel perfectly OK if your dreams do not come true. That means he does admit that many cherished dreams will not come true. In that case, his claim that everything you visualise (without an iota of doubt in your mind) will manifest, is a false claim. Unless Dr. Dyer can give a sensible answer to the question of unfulfilled ambitions, aspirations and dreams, one is left wondering whether he has told us anything we didnt know or try before.Most of us know the importance of focusing on the goal, perseverance, hard work, and so on, and are also mentally prepared for disappointment, because our experience has shown that things will often not turn out the way you want them to, EVEN IF you wish deeply and truly for them to happen.Sometimes it's your fault, and sometimes it isn't. Hindus believe that it is one's karma, in accordance to one's previous actions, maybe in previous lifetimes. They believe that some of the things that happen to you are inescapabale consequences of your former deeds. (As you sow, so shall you reap). Real Magic is hard to believe in, unless the author comes up with an explanation of why so many worthwhile dreams have not materialised. I would agree with Dr. Dyer if he says that everything we visualise will manifest, but not necessarily in one's present birth. Maybe in a future birth. I hope the author will post a reply. I have been searching for his email address to correspond with him directly, but have not been able to find it.

enlightening
I first read this book in 1994 and obtained a new awareness for my being here. I have since, over the years, bought copies and given them to "students" who have appeared to me. I am forever thankful for the other spirits who guided Dr. Dyer to compose this book. Similar Products
