Summary: Left behind...
Review: I thought this book must be bad, since these kinds of books usually are. As in life generally, I find there's no point expecting much from this kind of thing, since you're bound to be disappointed. The write-ups, however, are generally positive, and I tend to rely on the opinions of others in deciding what I think about this kind of thing. At the same time, my controlling ego tells me "you shouldn't need books like this to tell you how to live your life". I would have every intention of overcoming these barriers and gaining something from this book, but something in me keeps silently repeating the words "I don't want to feel good", and the seven faces, or energy fields, of intention continue to elude me.
Can the universal mind of intention become a reality when there are people like me not in harmony with it? How can I overcome my barriers and begin to access intention as a field of energy? I don't want to be left behind in co-creating my life with the power of intention.
I think intention alone is not enough, and people often have to be forcibly acquainted with creativity, kindness, love, beauty, expansion, abundance and receptivity. This book only encourages people already intending to, so, despite my best intentions, I give it only 2 stars.

Summary: review
Review: Dyer's "philosophy" has holes, but he does have some great insights, no question. To those who think he's plagiarizing Emerson, I read Dyer say in an interview: "In a way I'm just updating Emerson for the modern day." So he has given due credit to Emerson. And what's this mention in two reviews below about Dyer having a cocaine addiction? After I read those, I did a Google search for any other such mentions, and the only mentions that came up were the mentions in the two reviews below. At least name your source(s) when you make such an accusation. Since those reviews are the only references I've seen to such a claim, I can only dismiss them as almost certainly untrue.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: It's a COURSE IN MIRACLES !
Review: Basically this is straight from A COURSE IN MIRACLES. I just watched the PBS special, and am pretty amazed that he makes such negative references to Dr. Phil. If he's without judgement and so "connected" - seems like he's needing a little more connection. Not that he doesn't have great things to say. However, I've never seen the products and the pledges so HIGH. Must be trying to support that cocaine habit.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Emerson's work
Review: It seems Wayne Dyer doesn't want to give Ralph Waldo Emerson credit where credit is due. It seems a bit ungenerous not to acknowledge this.

I agree with an earlier reviewer that it would have been appropriate for Dyer to mention his cocaine addiction.

To say you can have life the way you want it, somehow implies that if it isn't the way you want it, you are to blame. It would be more accurate to say we will all have challenges and backslides, but can overcome them would make this a more balanced book instead of merely an Emerson regurgitation.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Dyer's Best - Can't wait for PBS show March 8th
Review: THis is Dyer's best yet - after about 3 years since his last book I can see that Dr Dyer has spent is time productively writing an incredible book that is both practiucal and gets you think about concepts you may have never considered before.

Very enlightening

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: BLUEPRINT FOR LIFE
Review: If you only read one book, this is it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A book that could change your life
Review: As usual, Dr. Dyer has demonstrated how we could explore and develop our giant internal power and turn it into something which could help us to think and live better. This is a geat book one could not afford to miss.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: More reality would improve this.
Review: I enjoy Dyer's books, and this book is a good read. I only gave it one star, because while Dyer could use his own real life example, he doesn't.

Rather than go on about how if you use these principles you life will be wonderful, he could have pointed out that even his own life has had challenges, but instead he misleads. He could have talked about his multi-year struggle with his cocaine addiction, but instead gives the impression that his life has been a steadily improving course. In that way it is a disservice to this book and to its readers.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Power of Intention
Review: Dr. Dyer's best work yet! I never thought of "intention" in quite that way, but now I will. His books are always easy to read - they just flow and are full of great stories, analogies, quotes and suggestions. He gives the reader a variety of ways to "get it" from the very philosophical to the very practical.

Thank you Dr. Dyer...please give us more!
