Rating: Summary: A must read for everyone Review: PERFECT!! Secrets everyone needs to know.
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.
Rating: Summary: AWESOME! Right up there with "Mizraim Principles"! Review: The secret to this book is organization and appearance. Of course, having solid principles that we all would benefit from learning about life is key also! Dyer TEACHES us--he doesn't merely talk at us, and the principles are not only simple--they are precepts we can RELATE to!! Along with the Christian work: 'With Joseph in the Unversity of Adversity: the Mizraim Priniciples', this is one of the finest self-help books out there today! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Rating: Summary: Excellent messages! Review: There are many people who can benefit from the wisdom of Wayne Dyer. Of course, I feel that I am one of them because this book has changed my life! This book tells you in simple words, what it takes to truly fulfill your spiritual potential as a human being. Like many spiritual books, this book only makes sense to those who are ready to understand these things. For those who are at the right stage, this book will be full of inspiring messages. If you want to really understand how all of this relates to how the mind works from an objective theoretical point of view, I'd recommend "The Ever-Transcending Spirit" by Toru Sato. It is one of the best books explaining this! If you are ready, life will make so much sense after reading this book. It is almost miraculous! If you are not ready, wait a few years and read it again. Anyways, read these books if you feel the time is right! They are excellent!

Rating: Summary: 10 Secrets Can Change your Life! Review: This is one of Dr. Dyer's best...It is quick and easy to read!

Rating: Summary: Real soul food Review: This is one of my most favorite books. I think it is Dyer's best. It is a book of basic principles for peace and happiness - a wonderful book to keep at hand and to center your life on.
Rating: Summary: Shallow and trite Review: Wayne Dyer has made a living off testing the socio-spiritual wind and writing to "catch the breeze" that is blowing. Spirituality is again a fair topic for discussion (after going underground in the 80's and 90's), so Dr. Dyer jumps in with the same self-centered stuff (see "Looking out for Number One") he's been writing all along, now in the guise of spirituality and the quest for inner peace. There are better books on the topic (search "Inner Peace" at christianbook.com), books which will get you to the root of what it takes to have lasting inner peace. Wayne's book is shallow, trite, misguided, and ultimately unhelpful. It might make you feel better, but it does not stand up to the intellectual scrutiny a world view demands. Inner peace is of no value if it is not ultimate, and not based on rock-solid truths, it cannot be of ultimate value. If you want to feel better, pick up a copy. If you want to be better, live better, make better choices, etc., dust off your copy of the New Testament and revisit the words of Jesus in the gospel of Matthew or John. Be strong-minded. Be discerning. Let this book go.
