Summary: Fuel for Change
Review: Dr. Wayne Dyer has crafted yet another amazing book on personal transformation. In 'You'll See It When You Believe It' he gives a detailed account of how to change not only the way you perceive reality, but reality itself. He shows how to bring your reality to a higher and more enlightened level which will necessarily include manifesting good, being internally driven, heightening the power of coincidence and connection, getting in the flow of the universe, achieving a greater sense of serenity, being in the moment, and being free of negative and fruitless emotions. It's the sort of book that makes you want to highlight passages and ideas. The text is filled with personal stories, examples and anecdotes to teach and inspire. It's ideal for those needing a little nudge (or a big jolt) in life. And it's ideal fuel for change.

Summary: Author has blissfully lost much of his mind.
Review: Dyer's premise is that you don't see something manifest in your life until you believe that it's possible. My usual problem with books like this one is that they're filled with stories. The actual information is pretty skimpy. Not so, here. Dyer gives suggestions at the end of each chapter on how you can incorporate these ideas into your everyday life. It's pretty balanced. If you were to find fault with the book, then it would probably be because it doesn't give a step-by-step way to incorporate these principles in your life. If you want specific ways on how to start a spiritual practice, I'd suggest "Manifest Your Destiny" by the same author.

Summary: Author has blissfully lost much of his mind.
Review: First, the good stuff: Positive thought and its power is described well. That, in and of itself, made this book somewhat worthwhile. However, Dyer's writing has become some jumbled up Christian - quasi Buddhist thought mulch pile in which he stars as the poster boy, or maybe even a figure of religious significance. Quantum theory is botched in an effort to support his half-baked ideas. I do think Dyer has gotten carried away with himself. Read the Seat of the Soul by Zukav, instead.

Summary: The sky wasn't the limit for me after I read this book
Review: I bought this book in 1990. I carried it around in my purse for over a year reading and re-reading it. It helped launch me in the career of my dreams. Whenever I felt afraid, I would read this book. Whenever I felt I wouldn't make it, I read this book. I will give my daughter a copy when she graduates high school. Dr. Dyer shares personal experiences and practical examples to help guide you. He has been ahead on the road of happy transformation and he shares insights that are rock solid. If I was stranded on a desert island, I'd take this book. I have the audio cassette version as well, and am buying the CD version, too.

Summary: A book for total change and mind purification.
Review: I came to know about this book from my brother, who is in India having good number of books. Last month I have booked a copy through my book shop and I got it three days before. I have read it and my experience is beautiful. We have five friends here doing meditation and collecting good books and we have a web site too. What I felt during the reading [small stone in the good food ] was repeated ' I '. May be because of my thinking that we have to reduce using 'I'. Otherwise direct talking style and other details are fantastic. We pray for Dr.Wayne W.Dyer to think more positively and write more good books. No writer will be satisfied with his works till he can think. He always thinks that NEXT will be the best. With the help of Dr Wayne and others the world will become heaven. No war No fight! With LOVE, EM Hashim

Summary: Interesting and insightful
Review: I must admit that I am a Dyer fan and have studied a fair amount of his work. This CD is as good as I have come to expect from Wayne Dyer. He relates the information in a way that makes it easy to understand and to relate too. The information is inspiring and thought provoking. If you are looking for tranformational information to reach higher levels of enlightenment, but are tired of speakers that use a great deal of lofty terms, this is the CD for you. Simple, straight talk that makes understanding easy and inspiring. If you are wanting something to effect change in you're life, here it is. You may also find Caroline Myss of benifit.

Summary: Interesting and insightful
Review: I must say that it took me awhile to look at the pages in this book and listen to them. I was doing exactly what Dyer warns against, trying to use my ego and mind alone to learn what he was saying, like viewing H20 alone instead of experiencing water.People like Wayne Dyer are often dismissed as "New Age" and unworthy of any attention. The principles that Dyer writes and demonstrates rather effectively in this book, however, are actually the things often needed most in today's world. Dyer demonstrates the power of positive thinking and shows how we are actually "dualistic" as distinct individuals with our own powerful minds while being members of a greater picture and whole at the same time. Also, awesome insight into the great human family, and how each and every one of us affects the whole family with our very "small" thoughts and actions.

Summary: Good tapes - title is misleading
Review: Informative and inspirational, but doesn't really live up to its title. Does not tell how to "See it when I believe it."

Summary: In the footsteps of Conwell
Review: It seems that, in every generation, there will be a person who cobbles togehter a series of platitudes glued together with just sufficient truth to bind it. Conwell was Dyer's predecessor and Dyer is the one for our generation. While Dr. Dyer manages to re-invent a whole series of philosophies and religions, he comes across, to this reader, as a spoild child who is determined to get his own way. During the process the truths get burried. To be sure, success is defined by the individual and abundance is whatever you call it. Yet, there is a mean spiritied end to all of this -- it is called blaming the victim. Yes, a lot of us create our own purgatories and punishments. But, Dyer ignores the fact that societies and institutions also create them for those it deems less than deserving. Regardless of being something that "You'll see... when you beleive it" or the promise of "Acres of Diamonds." The theme is the same -- you are responsible for your current situation and I am not to blame for your shortcomings. The popularity of Dyer belies the underlying theme in our society that there are no victims of my bias, only victims of their own making. Glean out the facts of this book and eliminate the hype and you have a distillation of some good basic principles that we all know. Like Trancendental Medidtation, it is a good practice but you don't have to join the religion.
