Summary: Dyer's magical advice for a beautiful life
Review: You can get some good pointers into spirituality from Dr. Wayne Dyers book.
One great thing is he makes spirituality accessable to many with his books.
He has a nice balance of inspiration and a combination of deep spiritual wisdom from many masters (Nisargadatta Mahraj, Mother Teresa, Ramana Maharshi, Saint Teresa of Avila, Patanjali, Saint Francis of Assisi to name just a few). He combines his sources and his own perspective and creates a very readable, easy access book with a lot of information.
One thing I might advise to readers is to not just turn this into another positive thinking book. To get down to the source of what Wayne is teaching, it is important to really practice communing deeply with God and coming from that level of consciousness NOT only focusing on the positive thinking part (which is a nice start). That I feel is key here, the level of Self realization you bring to it. Otherwise, it's just a pop positive thinking book-with is not Wayne's message here.

Summary: A wise man writes a wise book
Review: Wayne Dyer has written a gem. This book is especially recommended for people who are somewhat dissatisfied with their current living situation. Let it be weight, health, social situations, financial, or whatever. Like the bible says, the sick need a doctor. I have had a negative perception toward the majority of people for the bulk of my 31 years of existence. I had always wondered, "is this the best there is?" What this book teaches the reader is that all problems that you have are merely perceptions. What we think about the situation reflects on how our situation really works out to.
There are many important lessons one can learn from reading this book. Perhaps the most important idea the book manifests is how people should become an instrument of peace. We come across many situations in life where we are able to choose between a peaceful resolve or a negative one. Too often we choose the negative one.
Read this book with an open mind. I doubt you will be disappointed.

Summary: A bedside must
Review: I loved the book. And I believe that it really has life altering possibilities for those who honestly want to change. For me - well I think that I picked it up in my local bookshop at just the right moment in my life. That is when I brought it home and began to read it, it seemed that the "let go and let God" angle had great meaning in my life. I believe that the good doctor has a deep love for mankind and this love shines through every page of this wonderfull bedside book.

Summary: Depressing, upsetting book that I don't know why he wrote
Review: I bought this book because it was supposed to tell an uplifting story. I've bought numerous Wayne Dyer books and tapes before, and always loved his message. This book intregued me, so I went ahead and read it. The only conclusion I came up with was, "Why would such a positive man write such a negative book?" Sure, this book tells an interesting story, but the story itself is the most depressing, and upsetting story I think I've ever read in my life. It's the kind of book you read, maybe cry, and will upset you to no end. It did for me. Actually, I couldn't even finish reading this book because it was just too painful to read. To anyone who was 'touched' by this book, bless you. All it did was make me sick to my stomach.

Summary: Everyone will get what they need from this.
Review: I consider myself a spiritual person so when Dr. Dyer came out with this seminar on tape I just had to have it. As I listened to the tapes I felt as though he was talking to me, personally. I started looking at things in different ways. I could see how this program was having a positive effect on me.One day I was playing one of the tapes in the car. I thought for sure my husband, not the spiritual type, would ask me to turn it off. After about 5 minutes he said, "turn it UP so that I can hear it better." He even wanted to discuss some of the key issues. I was shocked. Normally he hates all of the 'spiritual' stuff. Since then I have listed to these tapes with many of my friends and I have learned that There is a Spiritual Solution to Every Problem touches us all, where ever we are on our journey, and gives us a new perspective, a new way to see our world. In doing so we learn what it is to be at peace. I highly recommend this seminar on tape to everyone looking for peace and happiness. You won't be disappointed.

Summary: A JOYFUL READ
Review: While I enjoyed the entire book, the exquisite second section-- his meditation on the prayer by St. Francis--gave me a wonderful rush of love and optimism as I read and savored it. I'm a Baha'i, this book helped me to more firmly and joyfully grasp the teachings of my faith, even though Dr. Dyer is not promoting any particular religion. He is promoting spiritual truth, which is the same in all faiths, when one looks closely and dispassionately to see it. His quotes from many faiths and inspiring thinkers, offered with his illuminating, lovely commentary, create a potent effect. Thank you again, Wayne Dyer.

Summary: Good book by Dr. Dyer - Highly Recommended.
Review: I really wasn't a fan of Dr. Wayne Dyer until I read this book and used his Meditation tape-Meditation for Manifesting.In There Is A Spiritual Solution For Every Problem, Dr. Dyer starts off by telling us that the number 1 thing to do in order to reach spiritual consciouness is to let the past go. Further, Dr. Dyer says to embrace the past and then get rid of it.Then Dr. Dyer goes on to explain the need for surrender in order to get closer to God. He says that most of our problems stem from the belief in two powers: Good vs. evil. There is only one power in the universe, and the only problem you have is the belief that you are separate from God.Dr. Dyer then teaches that emptying your mind through meditation (surrender) is the only way you can really come to know God.Then Dr. Dyer describes how to move to the higher frequencies (where one can be closest to God) He says that you must eliminate fear, shame, guilt (lowest frequencies) to joy, love and peace (highest frequencies) to be healed and have our problems solved.Finally, Dr. Dyer reiterates the teachings of St Francis and the benefits of thinking loving, positive thoughts, for this is how we become empowered. Here the focus is on applying love, where there is hate, light where there is darkness, and so on. Dr. Dyer suggests that by concentrating on power vs. force, we can earn respect, learn valuable life lessons, and move into a higher frequency.Those who are familiar with Dr. Dyers earlier works, like Erroneous Zones and Pulling Your Own Strings may not like this. I see this book along with Your Sacred Self as a positive move for Dr. Dyer. I also highly suggest the tape-Meditations For Manifesting for dramatic and rapid changes.Dr. Dyer, great book.

Summary: Confuses Emotions With The Soul
Review: With a title like "There's a Spiritual Solution to Every Problem," I wanted to agree with Wayne Dyer. I don't. While the title is true in and of itself, the application found here is not. He contradicts and misapplies Catholic theology, and his books loses its value. Confusing feeling good about oneself with spiritual wholeness, we are treated to a misdirection of what it takes to find inner peace and a successful life. Though favoring heavily St. Francis' teaching, Wayne Dyer seems to be missing what Francis' was talking about. "Lord, make me an instrument of your peace" is the oft-quoted phrase of Francis, but Dyer isn't directing his allegiance to the Lord like the famous Catholic was. We are told to find our allegiance and god is inner peace, not the Lord of St. Francis. Committed Christians and Catholics are probably offended by this book. In the same all-gods-are-one god flavor of the month ideology as Caroline Myss, Dyer's book loses its credibility by having nothing certain to assert. Instead, his book comes across as positive sounding as Norman Vincent Peale, but without the foundation beneath it. Strip away the self-promotional tone and garbled pop-theology, and "There's a Spiritual Solution to Every Problem" is just another positive thinking book. Thinking objectively about problems is key. Any leadership book by authors from Carnegie to Maxwell will tell you that. And, not being emotionally taken in by failure is also important. That's why you are better off reading Maxwell or Carnegie. They say it better, with a better understanding of the pulse of problem resolution. Anthony Trendl
