Summary: Philosophical and Inspiring
Review: Real Magic is a book about how to create miracles in your every day life. Wayne Dyer is a genius at using words to guide people to spirit. He inspires us - not tells us how to encounter what is sacred in our humanity. Thanks, Wayne Dyer, for a book that reveals our souls longing to encounter our Creator. In essence, this book creates a philosophical blueprint toward finding our bliss and living out the purpose for which we were created.--Samuel Oliver, author of, WHAT THE DYING TEACH US: LESSONS ON LIVING.

Summary: Dyer does it again!!
Review: REAL MAGIC is another work by Dr. Dyer that literally had me absorbed and excited and reading along with highlighter in hand (Which is my highest accolade I suppose). This book contains all sorts of strategies for bringing magic, coincidence, and miracles into everyday life...so that these things become everyday occurances. REAL MAGIC is a real source of bound inspiration - the kind of book I read and think "Oh yeah, this is what I need to do to get my life back on course." It reminds me of who I truly am. It's very applicable and very readable and is about miracles yet very much grounded in the real world...which is something I look for in books of this nature. Dyer covers every aspect of life from finances and health to addictions to relationships and of course the basic "goals" of happiness and fulfillment/discovery of life purpose. Dyer is an expert not so much at giving ideas but awakening ideas...and yet it seems fresh and not simply a rehash of thousands of other books out there. That combo is priceless and it sure works for me.

Summary: Interesting message, could be better conveyed
Review: This book is worth a read but I can't agree that it's a five star book. I find that the author's egocentrism detracts from his message. All the anecdotes are about HIM. The book is supposed to be about how your life can be changed by following Dyer's advice so it would reinforce the message of he were to relate stories of those who have been helped by that advice and the actions/techniques he advocates.He basically rehashes the same message several times in the second half of the book, applying it to different aspects of life ( relationships, money, health ). I think he could have got the message across better by writing a shorter more focussed book. He stresses the importance of meditation but doesn't go into it in sufficient detail. I also think he mixes up discussion of meditation techniques which bring one to a state of mental stillness, and the activities of reflecting on life and creative visualization which could be carried out having arrived at a state of mental calm. He doesn't give much detail here and doesn't provide information on sources where details can be obtained. I think there are better authors of this kind of book out there.

Summary: enlightening
Review: This is a charming book about not limiting yourself and letting go of the forces in your life that hold you back. I had avoided Dyer's books for years because I had an impression that they were mass market mumbo-jumbo fluff, and I am kicking myself for being so arrogant. This was the first Dyer book that i have read and it is wonderful. Dyer maps out a specific plan for you to be able to achieve your goals. He gives you specific strategies for how you can attain those goals. He describes the importance of balance in your life, and gives you permission to focus on yourself and your needs and wants. He shows you how the only thing that limits you is yourself, and that when you shed these perceived limitations, anything is possible. I recommend this book to anyone who would like a positive change in their life.
