Change Your Thoughts - Change Your Life: Living the Wisdom of the Tao

I have always loved Dr.Wayne Dyer but this book is so telling and helpful.I love what i am learning just when i think there isn't much left this book comes along to guide me.I love it.

Right on time, Wayne! This is the book I read so slowly, without rush be-
cause I regard its content as having lifetimes of value and use. I've
bought three copies!

Dr. Wayne Dyer reminds readers that they spend much of their lives chasing after things, people, places, and circumstances... because we feel that by finally acquring what we "desire", we will be happy... He shows us how the truth is that it never happens that way. Instead we get tired of all the chasing and get worn out :-) .. Dr. Wayne Dyer reminds us that our true nature is that of the "witness"... If only we can stop all the thinking momentarily and simply step out of our lives and watch our lives, our emotions, our thoughts, and feelings... just witness them without getting involved... then we can see how we are driven by them and how our lives are shaped by our own thoughts and people around us. We finally see how our own thoughts about a situation, a person, a thing, are responsible for our lack of inner Peace. He does not teach us to blame ourselves because blame is not conducive to helping oneself, to growing, and progressing.. rather Dr. Wayne Dyer lovingly brings to our attention how thoughts themselves and people around us have so much control and power over us... Is that the kind of life we want to live? How about if we take responsiblity for our own thoughts, and thereby our own lives, and take back the power from others who control our lives? Imagine the freedom, the peace, and well being in that living.. Live it and experience it.. this is what Dr. Wayne Dyer successfully shows.

We become a product of all of our thoughts and ambitions. Dr. Wayne Dyer teaches us to take control of our own lives by becoming a silent witness strong and rich with understanding within! He teaches readers how not to give the rein of our lives to circumstances, people, desires, problems, etc.. Let not things and thoughts have control over your inner peace and stability... Instead connect with the "Tao" (God resident in each our hearts) and depend on Him alone for guidance and strength to lead a life of self control and above all, inner PEACE...

Very refreshen to listen too. Lot's of valuable information to use spiritually, healthwise, and financially.

I like Wayne Dyer, he writes some very current books. He is not my favorite author as I sometimes get a bit brain-tied with how he expresses himself. With some thinking though, I've got the message and it's been very useful.

Now this book is lovely. He breaks down the pithy "Tao Te Ching" with 81 little chapters on the wisdom of Lao Tzu. Taoism is based upon the wisdom of Lao Tzu.

What I really like is that the little essays are very digestible and quick to read. One doesn't really feel like racing through the book, which I usually do. Instead I've really enjoyed going over a new verse or two here and there. It's one of those books I feel that one will want to finish, yet is in no hurry to do so. For me a sign of a good book is if it's not picked up in two weeks one still thinks about a quick read of a chapter or two.

Once again I feel Wayne is right on the money with the timing of this book. He's come off the back of the recent, "cosmic law of attraction" and "power of intention" and gone back to an ancient text that is an immortal classic.

The only caveat I will lay down is have a read or listen to Pema Chodron's "good medicine", "meditation", "getting unstuck". One will develop a very quick way to cleanse from self-criticism and enter a purer open mind, embracing all our minds imperfections and realising they are not part of our true being. Then any reference of Wayne's to do this or that will be bypassed and the pure essence of his message will come shining through. Sometimes we all tend to have our filters on, adding little bits of our own beliefs, thereby losing the purity of the cosmic message.
