Overview

Filled with wit and wisdom, this two-CD lecture will teach you how to create anything you desire--if you really, really, really, really want it! By following four simple steps, Dr. Dyer teaches you how to reduce the time from when you decide what you want in your mind to when it actually manifests. As Dr. Dyer says, "What you think about expands, so think about what you want--not about what you don't want!" Dr. Chopra recommends getting beyond judgment and reaction in order to make your dreams come true. "This state," he says, "is an intuitive, restful mode of awareness where you ask for the gifts that you desire and send a message to the Universe."

Although I have read some of Dyer's work, this is the first audiobook of his I have ever heard--and his humor-filled and down-to-earth speaking style was a pleasure to listen to, with many memorable bits to take away and reflect upon. An inspiration to "scurvy elephants" everywhere! Chopra's portion is, by contrast, drier, but still informative. If you have never listened to Chopra before, though, I would recommend getting "The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success" first.

  • Book Rating: 4/5

Please note that my rating is based on a unique perspective - I have over 30 audiotapes from Wayne Dyer and have followed him for many years. In fact, I met him once while he was out doing his daily exercise routine, and spoke with him briefly. My impression of him was substantiated from that brief encounter; after talking with him, I was even more convinced that he is genuine. Since most of his previous work was so compelling to me, I felt that this was a bit of a letdown. In terms of content, it was presented fairly well, but the amount of information was definitely less than most other presentations I have heard by him (and Deepak Chopra). If you are new to his work, you might rate it significantly higher. Overall, it is worthwhile listening, but for my money/time, I have found many of his other works to be more interesting.
