Rating: Summary: Profound Insights Capsuled In Succinct Statements: Review: An incredibly insightful book that is deceptively profound because it is so simply written.Dr. Wayne Dyer has obviously thought through and meditated through every single one of these 10 secrets, such that, he is able to present each secret, in a way, that is easy to understand, easy to grasp, easy to apply, without sounding trite or plodding, while inspiring and encouraging. The overall color scheme of the book, the font types, the layouts, all lend to the peacefulness and the uplifting mood of the book. It is simply not a difficult book to read in one short sitting. However, because of its wonderful implications as you read it, you will most definitely want to return to it again and again. This is most definitely Dr. Dyer's best book.

Rating: Summary: Don't miss this one... Review: Somehow, I missed reading Dr. Wayne Dyer's TEN SECRETS FOR SUCCESS when it first came out a few years ago . . . however, I'm glad I was able to find it now because it contained many powerful ideas for changing my life--and yours, too, in most likelihood) . . . though a mere 158 pages with a lot of white space, I'd still give it my highest recommendation for either personal reading or gift giving. The ideas may seem pretty basic, but if you read the accompanying explanation in the book, you'll see that they take on a lot more significance when Dyer gives his unique spin on each one: The First Secret: Have a mind that is open to everything and attached to nothing. The Second Secret: Don't die with your music still in you. The Third Secret: You can't give away what you don't have. The Fourth Secret: Embrace silence. The Fifth Secret: Give up your personal history. The Sixth Secret: You can't solve a problem with the same mind that created it. The Seventh Secret: There are no justified resentments. The Eighth Secret: Treat yourself as if you already are what you'd like to be. The Ninth Secret: Treasure your divinity. The Tenth Secret: Wisdom is avoiding all thoughts that weaken you. I also liked how Dyer used a relatively popular technique of introducing each chapter with quotes . . . yet what made these interesting was that I had not seen many of them reviously . . . forinstance: Any path is only a path, and there is no affront to oneself or to others, in dropping it if that is what your heart tells you.--Carlos Castaneda Any man can make mistakes, but only an idiot persists in his error.--Cicero The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts. Take care that you entertain no notions unsuitable to virtue and reasonable nature.--Marcus Aurelius God does not command that we do great things, only little things with great love.--Mother Teresa Also, there were many other memorable passages in the book . . . among them: In all of your relationships, if you can love someone enough to allow them to be exactly what they choose to be--without any expectations or attachments from you--you'll know true peace in your lifetime. True love means you love a person for what they are, not for what you think they should be. This is an open mind-and an absence of attachment. What is your passion? What stirs your soul and makes you feel like you're totally in harmony with why you showed up here in the first place? Know this for certain: Whatever it may be, you can make a living doing it and simultaneously provide a service for others. I guarantee it. The willingness and ability to live fully in the now eludes many people. While eating your appetizer, don't be concerned with dessert. While reading a book, notice where your thoughts are. While on vacation, be there instead of thinking about what should have been done and what has to be done when returning home. Don't let the elusive present moment get used up by thoughts that aren't in the here and now.
