Dr Wayne Dyer
Dr. Wayne W. Dyer is one of the most popular, influential, and prolific
contemporary self-help writers and teachers. His 1976 book Your
Erroneous Zones has sold over 30 million copies.
Dyer received his Doctor of Education in counseling from Wayne State
University. Initially pursuing an academic career, his lectures at New
York's St. John's University, which focused on positive thinking and motivational
speaking techniques, attracted an audience beyond those enrolled. Dyer
was persuaded to collect his ideas in book form, resulting in Your Erroneous
Zones. Dyer followed his success with lecture tours, a series of audiotapes,
and regular publication of new books.
A compelling speaker, Dyer tells followers to pursue Self actualization,
calling reliance on the self as a guide a "religious" experience,
and suggested that readers emulate Jesus Christ, who he termed both an
example of a self-actualized person, and a "preacher of self-reliance".
[Dan P. McAdams (2006). The Redemptive Self: Stories Americans Live by.
Oxford University Press]
Throughout the 1990s Dyer began to include more Spirituality in his work.
His current book Change Your Thoughts - Change Your Life, and focus, is
on the wisdom of the Tao Te Ching or Great Way, Lao tzu's classic work.
Wayne Dyer has undoubtedly attained great material success as a result
of his Spritually focused teachings. This can be an indicator both of
the quality of the teachings or of the selling-out of their creator. Having
recently had the privilege to watch Dyer speak I can confirm that this
enlightened individual still has much to offer those treading the path
of self-fulfillment.

Change Your Thoughts - Change Your Life: Living the Wisdom of the Tao
Five hundred years before the birth of Jesus, a God-realized being named
Lao-tzu in ancient China dictated 81 verses, which are regarded by many
as the ultimate commentary on the nature of our existence. The classic
text of these 81 verses, called the Tao Te Ching or the Great Way, offers
advice and guidance that is balanced, moral, spiritual, and always concerned
with working for the good.
In this book, Dr. Wayne W. Dyer has reviewed hundreds of translations
of the Tao Te Ching and has written 81 distinct essays on how to apply
the ancient wisdom of Lao-tzu to today’s modern world. This work
contains the entire 81 verses of the Tao, compiled from Wayne’s
researching of 12 of the most well-respected translations of text that
have survived for more than 25 centuries. Each chapter is designed for
actually living the Tao or the Great Way today. Some of the chapter titles
are “Living with Flexibility,” “Living Without Enemies,”
and “Living by Letting Go.” Each of the 81 brief chapters
focuses on living the Tao and concludes with a section called “Doing
the Tao Now.”
Wayne spent one entire year reading, researching, and meditating on Lao-tzu’s
messages, practicing them each day and ultimately writing down these essays
as he felt Lao-tzu wanted you to know them.
This is a work to be read slowly, one essay a day. As Wayne says, “This
is a book that will forever change the way you look at your life, and
the result will be that you’ll live in a new world aligned with
nature. Writing this book changed me forever, too. I now live in accord
with the natural world and feel the greatest sense of peace I’ve
ever experienced. I’m so proud to present this interpretation of
the Tao Te Ching, and offer the same opportunity for change that it has
brought me.”

Pulling Your Own Strings: Dynamic Techniques for Dealing with
Other People and Living Your Life as You Choose
Wayne Dyer reveals how we all can prevent ourselves from being victimised
by others and begin to operate from a position of power at the centre
of our own lives. Asserting that we alone are responsible for how much
we will be controlled by others, Dyer offers his practical plan for developing
new attitudes toward the most common sources of victimisation and manipulation,
such as family members and authority figures in the workplace.
For example, families can be tremendously coercive and demanding, but
they can also be an immensely rewarding part of your life. Dyer shows
how to cope with the negative side and contribute to the positive.
Also, in their working life many people stay in unfulfilling jobs because
they feel constrained by their present experience or because they fear
change. Dyer shows that by being enthusiastic and flexible, you can find
the work that makes you happy.
In this modern–day classic, Dyer shows you how to stop being the
victim in all aspects of everyday life and to take charge of your destiny.

10 Secrets for Success and Inner Peace
Bestselling author and lecturer Wayne Dyer has written a thought-provoking
book for those of us who have chosen to consciously be on our life path.
The ten "secrets" for success and inner peace presented here
apply whether you’re just embarking on your path, are nearing the
end of it, or are on the path in any way. Dr. Dyer urges you to read these
ten secrets with an open heart. By doing so, you’ll learn to feel
the peace of God that truly defines success.
Dr. Dyer shares his view that we’re living in an age of spiritual
deficiency. We have more than enough information in our society—it’s
spirituality that’s lacking.
First and foremost, spiritually advanced people must have a "burning
desire" to become as spiritually fulfilled as possible—even
if they’re seen as running against the pack, or, as his spiritual
mentor, Henry David Thoreau said, "marching to the beat of their
own drummer."
Dyer’s ten principles include:
- Being open to everything and attached to nothing.
- Understanding that there are no justified resentments in life.
- Embracing silence, since meditation is the only way to truly come
to know your Source.
- Knowing that you can’t solve a problem with the same mind that
created it.
- Treating yourself as if you already are what you’d like to become.

Your Erroneous Zones
If you're plagued by guilt or worry and find yourself falling unwittingly
into the same old self-destructive patterns, then you have "erroneous
zones" -- whole facets of your approach to life that act as barriers
to your success and happiness. Wayne Dyer can now help you break free!
If you believe that you have no control over your feeling and reactions,
Dyer reveals how much you can take charge of yourself and manage how much
you let difficult situations affect you. If you spend more time worrying
what others think than working on what you want and need, Dyer points
the way to true self-reliance. From self-image problems to over-dependence
upon others, Dyer gives you the tools you need to enjoy life to the fullest.
