After watching and listening to ‘the Secret,’ reading books by Napoleon Hill, Wayne Dyer and Deepak Chopra, I believe that what they all cover is true. That is:

1. To focus on what you want

2. Detach yourself from the outcome

3. Be grateful for what you already have

4. Make a plan then take action

But the point that was most difficult for people that I’ve talked to is detach yourself from the outcome. In other words, don’t worry about whether or not something will happen and just know it will.

It’s easy to understand this concept if you look back on your own life and think about something you hoped for or wanted badly but didn’t get when you wanted it, only to manifest itself when you stopped worrying about it.

A simple example for me happened in high school. In my junior year, I really wanted to go to my junior prom but because I was shy and attended an all-boys school, finding a date was next to impossible. The junior prom came and went. While I was disappointed, I accepted the outcome and looked forward to my senior prom.

By the start my senior year in high school, my attitude had changed from worrisome and fearful to joyful and carefree. The reasons for this change are I did volunteer work at my school and participated in activities at the YMCA. Because of my positive outlook, I enjoyed my final year in high school and while I still wanted to go to my senior prom, I would be fine if I didn’t go. As a result, not only did I go to my senior prom, but I also went to three more proms with girls from the neighboring all-girl schools. It was unbelievable considering just a year earlier, I didn’t know any girl to ask.

Of course, something like going to a prom is not that big of a deal compared to the issues we face as we get older and take on more responsibilities. The challenges we experience can be overwhelming to the point where, despite all your efforts to detach yourself from what you desire, worry and fear find their way in. I think this is where people get discouraged and doubt any of this self-help / attraction concepts work.

I believe that the steps that are pointed out in programs like ‘The Secret’ are simple and easy to understand, but it’s not easy to implement when it comes to the big things in one’s life whether it be financial security, overcoming a serious illness or family stability.

The key to overcoming the inability to manifest what matters most to you is to think about your past and see what you were able to manifest, no matter how small or minor. Then try to remember how you felt before it happened and how you felt when it happened. Take those feelings and apply it to what you want now.

It takes great effort, especially when you are being inundated with negative energy from the people and environment around you. But it will make you a stronger person and you will manifest what you truly desire.

2 Stars ok but not very advancing
Live lecture, sound not so great,his recorded laboured breathing was very very off putting, love Wayne Dyer, but this is not a good one.

I listen to staying on the path, almost every day.

Will only ever listen to this once.The asking people in the audience to break there anonymity in alcohlics anonymous,to prove a point he was making and “pleading” with people to do the Tao, was all a bit, hard to say but disappointing and not very enriching or advancing

Marinne,,,, “well lets all just take a deep breath and imagine a ball of golden light”,,,, please God rescue me from the bad feelings that i paid moneY to listen to something that started like that,,,,,

1 Star Wayne Worshippers Beware
Actually the product is more than 3 stars (for some reason, the website would not let me edit the stars)

Wayne Dyer: 5 stars

Marianne Williamson: 2.5 stars

Sound Quality: 3.5

As an ardent reader and listener of Dr.Dyer, I have enjoyed and still repeatedly enjoy listening to most of his previous works, unfortunately not this one. This is only worth listening once, may be 2. Do the Tao – rather do nothing is a little bit of a stretch.

I have a feeling that someday, Dr. Dyer will miss all the things he left behind.

With regard to Ms. Williamson’s(Never heard of this author before) part of the program: With all due respect to her being as a person, and many others who love her, I felt that if I did not listen to her, I would not have missed much, but was interesting to get an idea who she was.

So once again, my suggestion to all my good Dr.Dyer fans known and unknown, is that- of all the talks that Dr. Dyer has given – Dont Take This To Heart – Especially if you are progressing in the Spiritual path very well. This work does not look like the ‘Afternoon’ of his life, rather his ‘Midnight’ where he does nothing and is in deep slumber.

Having said that, If for some reason you happened to loose the first 3 CDs and listened to the CD #4 only, consider yourself lucky and it is worthy though……it is an interesting Q & A session and was entertaining and at the same time gives out some messages….. that aren’t really new that Dr.Dyer has not touched upon before.

Audio quality is poor for about 20% of the CD, I think it is hard to find a mid point, because Wayne has a bold high bass in his voice and Marianne has a shreaky unpleasant high pitched/treble in her voice.

2 Stars Not worth it
It is a good chat between two friends about anything and nothing special that we already have heard either frome the Book ‘The Secret’ or in they recent CD’s they made. It is to resume briefly a repitition of their thoughts.

1 Star Pompous
I am so sorry I wasted my money on this. If you like to listen to people who can do anything they want because they have a lot of money to do it with then go ahead and buy it. Imagine being able to say, (paraphrasing)things have no meaning, just walk away from them. You can always buy more. This man is so involved with himself. He has become so self involved that he is boriing.

2 Stars Disappointed
I enjoyed the lecture Wayne Dyer gave, but was extremelly disappointed with Marianne Williamson lecture.

Intention is generally viewed as a pit-bull kind of determination propelling one to succeed at all costs by never giving up on an inner picture. In this view, an attitude that combines hard work with an indefatigable drive toward excellence is the way to succeed. However, intention is viewed very differently in this book. Dr. Wayne W. Dyer has researched intention as a force in the universe that allows the act of creation to take place. This audio program explores intention—not as something you do—but as an energy you’re a part of. We’re all intended here through the invisible power of intention. This is the first book to look at intention as a field of energy that you can access to begin co-creating your life with the power of intention.

Part I deals with the principles of intention, offering true stories and examples on ways to make the connection. Dr. Dyer identifies the attributes of the all-creating universal mind of intention as creative, kind, loving, beautiful, expanding, endlessly abundant, and receptive, explaining the importance of emulating this source of creativity. In Part II, Dr. Dyer offers an intention guide with specific ways to apply the co-creating principles in daily life. Part III is an exhilarating description of Dr. Dyer’s vision of a world in harmony with the universal mind of intention.

5 Stars Effectively Changed My Life!
Ever wonder why some people are ALWAYS happy and some others NEVER happy? If I had not purchased Wayne Dyer’s CD’s, I’d still be STUCK in a negative thinking pattern! An old saying, “When the Student is READY, the teacher will be there!” came to mind when I listened to this set. Dyer shares his message; it is up to the individual to process and use it. The first time, four years ago, I listened to these CD’s I was unmoved. I listened; probably didn’t HEAR.

Recently, on a car trip, I packed these into my car, and began a journey that has changed my life through the realization that all of us have “what we need” within us, and we must tap into our power and our source. Within the private space of my comfortable car, and while I was driving and listening, I experienced a paradigm shift in the way I view life and relationships. I’d been stuck, I felt, and suddenly began to think in terms of “moving forward with positive energy” …….connect to our source…….tap into INTENTION. Something he said, triggered an awakening moment and I literally “felt” different.

I’ve listened and listened again to the 6 CD’s and hear something new and helpful every time. I’m high on life……released the old burdens that held me back, and embraced new thoughts and opportunities which were dorment and waiting within. I am not shy about sharing this “wealth” with friends and family. At work, I was telling of my new focus and noticed that 3 people had gathered and were listening intently…….one asked to borrow the CD’s.

Wayne Dyer is human, encouraging, filled with intention, and shares his life stories. I would highly recommend this set of CD’s because of the positive effects I have experienced. I am so very thankful I had these when I was finally ready to change my life.

4 Stars Wayne Dyer – Intention
The cd set is very interesting and well worth listening to more than once. I have my set in the car for short and long trips. The cd container however was not in perfect shape to hold in the cd’s properly which was a little disappointing, but not essential to the enjoyment of the cd’s.

5 Stars A “MUST” for those seeking to improve their lives!
Wayne Dyer has helped millions of people who are seeking to find a better way of living. This CD Set of his live lectures is a marvelous, easy way to do just that. He lays it all out in laymen’s terms. My husband and I listen to it over and over; at home and in the car. It has improved our mindsets and added much to our thought processes. We are extremely spiritual people and listening to these lectures adds to that dimension within our marriage and in our assisting others attempting to reach higher goals.

5 Stars THIS WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE–IN A NUTSHELL
This is the boiled down version of “The Power of Intention”. It is a good place to start and the CDs are a great way to learn. I have listened to these CDs many times and every time, I learn something different.

5 Stars The Secrets of the Power of Intention
This is some of Dr. Dyers best work. I find every bit of this audio book to be positive, insightful, and inspirational. I have listened to this book several times and learn something new each time. Extremely good direction for those who want to think differently, appreciate more, give back and live a better life.

5 Stars Awesome – as always!
Every time I listen to something of Wayne’s that I haven’t heard before I find something new and wonderful that I can use in my own life. I love his humor, his sense of fun, and the fact that he’s a real person who’s not in this to impress anybody. This is a wonderful cd that I will listen to over and over.

4 Stars Always good material
You can’t go wrong with anything by Wayne Dyer. This was actually an older recording that has just been released on CD, so I had heard some of the stories/topics already, but there is always something of value to be gleaned from his material. I have seen him speak twice in person and he never disappoints!

5 Stars He just knows how to say it…
I’ve listened to motivational, inspirational, and spiritual tapes of many different types so let me tell you that this one surely stands out amoung all that I’ve delved into. I’m a searcher right now – searching for wisdom and I find it in the forms of books, DVDs, CDs, etc. so I’ve seen my share of these CDs. This small 2CD set packs so much more than just 2CDs worth! I’ve listened to 6CD sets – they are good. This CD set is not good, it’s incredible! He gets to the point, tells quick and interesting stories to keep you interested (and keep you awake if you have been driving for a while too!), and I felt myself transforming into a different, more divinely aware person while listening to it.

I highly recommend this CD set. It’s quick, entertaining, and has really done wonders for my searching quest!

5 Stars Inspirational and Life Changing
Wayne Dyer is a dynamic speaker that uses humor to keep your interest. I

think the way he presents the idea of spirituality and the “Five Keys to Higher Awareness” is outstanding. If you’re trying to change your life I highly recommend this audiobook.

5 Stars Great CD
I drive alot for a living and it is helpful to have a book on CD during the travles. The up lifting way Wayne Dyer speake helps me to stay motivated in my journey to health and happiness.

Presenting together for the first time, Byron Katie and Wayne Dyer address the powerful effects of your thoughts and how they create your experience.

����� You’ll learn a transformative process that will allow you to identify the stressful thoughts that cause all the pain and suffering in your life. When you release these thoughts, instead of letting them dictate your experience, you become empowered to live a life of joy–in touch with your true nature.

������ Make the choice to change your thoughts to bring about inner peace and true happiness. In this powerful CD program, two life-changing teachers show you the way.

2 Stars hard to follow Dr Dyer’s segment was great, but Byron Katie is hard to follow if you don’t already know her work. This would be better if it included a copy of the handout that she refers to in her talk.

4 Stars Love the CDs, Katie takes some getting used to LOVE the messages on this CD. I’ve never heard Byron Katie before and I had to really suspend my judgment in order to stick with it and actually HEAR her message. Calling everyone “sweetheart” pushes my buttons – the sickly sweet ones. BUT stay with it and you begin to get her point. She does the “work” with actual people in the audience of this live lecture, which makes it easier to imagine how to apply it in your own life.

2 Stars Disappointed Huge fan of Dr. Dyer. I was disappointed in this cd with Byron Katie, however. Scattered delivery and I hate to say it but it was pretty boring. I’ll continue to buy Dr. Dyer’s work.

5 Stars Inspiring Audio The combination of both these very insightful and encourging people can not help but inspire you to bring more peace and harmony into your life. The techniques suggested and actual live interviews include many facets of today’s struggles that may be causing some harmful negative thoughts in our lives and this audio helped me uncover those thoughts and question them. The Work that Byron Katie provides with her 4 questions and turn arounds helps you to discover a peace within yourself by just using this simple method of asking yourself “is it true?”. I can not express enough the difference this audio has made in my life.

5 Stars Byron Katie Byron Katie can only be described as an incredible person. The lecture can only be described as amazing!

3 Stars Excellent ideas but too much of Dr. Dyer
I really like Dr. Dyer and what his lectures cover. However, he does spend too much time talking about himself. I never noticed this so much when I watched him on public television but it really jumps out at you on an audio CD. Some of his comments about his own life are so unnecessary to the discussion that you do have to wonder about his ego. For instance, he made quite a stretch in drawing a connection between his name Wayne Dyer and the meaning of The Tao. But, if you can get past all of that, the message he delivers about the Tao is very worthy of your listening time.

5 Stars Excellent
If you are ready and open for new ideas and new perspectives and drive a lot I recommend Change Your Thoughts – Change Your Life, Live Seminar!: Living the Wisdom of the Tao on CD.

5 Stars Gifts from Eykis
Enjoyable reading with many lessons for those who are ready to recognize them.

5 Stars Don’t Miss Out on Eykis’ Gifts For Another Day!!!
“Gifts from Eykis” is, without a doubt, THE most important, stirring, provocative, life changing book I’ve read so far on my own personal journey of self-discovery!!! I cannot recommend this book highly enough – in fact, I agree with one of the other reviewers who said that this should be required reading in every high-school (and I would add college as well) on this planet! If we could do this 1 thing for our young adults – exposing them to these “gifts” – we would soon find a beautifully changed world on our hands, of this there’s no doubt in my mind!

This book starts off with a young physics major who’s graduating from grad school. On graduation day 1 of his professors gives him a folder of calculations – saying that figuring them out will become the most important work of his life. These calculations turn out to be the formula for transporting oneself to another planet – a planet where everything that happens is totally reality-based. For example, when they say they’re having an anxiety attack, it is because they acutally have a bacteria called anxiety that does in fact attack, causing the same symptoms we experience here on Earth.

While visiting this other planet the young man meets Eykis, and through her he learns how this reality-based universe works & why. When he’s unable to explain why we experience the same things on Earth as they do, even though we’re not reality-based, she decides to venture back with him to our planet to see for herself. At the conclusion of this visit she shares her reaction to the way we think, talk, & behave & her view that things could be SO MUCH better if we would just change our current ways of thinking.

“Gifts from Eykis” is a mixture of wisdom, philosophy, humor, spirituality, and down-to-earth common sense. It’s written in such a way that it leads you to not only ponder where your current thinking is in error, but also begin to change this “wrong thinking”. For me this story continues to stay in my mind, allowing me to realize quickly when I’m off track from where I’d like to be. I think it’s SO compelling & lasting because the information is shared by an “outsider” who is looking in – it really makes you think what would an intelligent being from another planet would think about us & our way of life if they were to visit.

Overall, I wish EVERYONE on our planet would read “Gifts from Eykis” – I think it’s that important!!! It provides a wonderful “road map” for those people who choose to change their lives for the better, creating a life where they are happy, fulfilled, healthy, and able to truly enjoy everything that life has to offer. As I said before, I can’t recommend it highly enough!!! This book would also make a great gift for friends, family, and young adults who are graduating from high school or college. These “gifts” are something no one should have to live without!

5 Stars A Strong Dose of Reality
Whenever I get caught up in the useless worries and stresses that so many people in society feel, I revisit this book. For example on planet Uranus if people want to see into the future, they can accomplish it merely by feeling the emotion of worry. However on planet Earth, feeling the emotion of worry does NOT enable us to see into the future, so Eykis was confused about why we bother to worry. It’s definitely a good point.

5 Stars I bought it, and I gave away over a dozen copies to friends and relations
In the second half of the 1980′s, I felt like my life was going down the drain. I read Eykis ( 1983 version) and found the ‘secrets’ so helpful I did something I’ve never done before or since. I bought a dozen copies and gave them to friends and relatives. Dog-eared doesn’t do justice as a description of the back third of the book.

4 Stars A Parable about “Correct-Thinking”
Dyer’s parable is an ingenious work that allows him to present his doctrine through the story of a wise Urantian television network announcer named Eykis. This fictional tale about a seemingly parallel world reached by molecular transport is really a story about reality based truth, observation, understanding, tolerance, enlightenment, and all other miracles that reside in our internal being.

I am a big fan of Wayne Dyer and have read all of his books. The message of this book is awesome; however, I must admit that I prefer the direct style of his other books that often include the source of his thoughts rather than a fictitious story that illustrates his morale attitude and beliefs. I am sure that from the perspective of others the exact opposite is truth for them and I accept that as an equally valid way for them to learn “Eykis’ Gifts.”

When I first read this book a couple of years ago, I found that I was more interested in the story than the message. Having read many more books by a variety of enlightened authors since that time, my second reading of this book over the last two days reinforced the message of “correct-thinking” that this and other great books teach.

While I highly recommend this book to people of all ages, I do not recommend it as a first reading of Dyer’s works because it is different in style than any other book he has written. If you choose it as a science fiction novel you will be disappointed. If you do not mind wading through the story to get to the message you’ll like it. If you read the works of others on this subject–for example, Peace Is Every Step: The Path of Mindfulness in Everyday Life by Thich Nhat Hanh, The Mindful Way through Depression: Freeing Yourself from Chronic Unhappiness (purchase includes audio CD narrated by Jon Kabat-Zinn) by J. Mark G. Williams, or A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose by Eckhart Tolle–or other works from Wayne Dyer, you will probably appreciate this book even more.
