Just not what I expected

You know, Mr. Dyer's a really smart guy and I have learned from his life and works. But this particular offering, an edited recording of a workshop, well, let's just say that the recording, if it had gotten to the point, could have been 15 minutes long rather than hours. Just too many anecdotes, and asides, and tales. The point of "Excuses Begone" is really logical and mathemtical almost. Admit that your ideas about yourself and your life cannot be 100% true or false. This gives you the freedoom to admit that anything can change. The doubt that anything can be completely true or false give you the wedge, the opening to admit that you can have a different and often opposite thought, one that cannot also be 100% true or false. So why not think the thought that gets you to where you want to go, rather than the thought that keeps you where you don't want to be? That's the sum total of Excuses Begone. Can you be 100% certain that you will be anxious, poor, fat, unloved forever? No, of course not. Can you be 100% sure that you will be secure, calm, fit, trim, not-poor, and loved? No, of course not. So admit that your better self is possible. Keep that thought utmost in your mind and you will become what you think about. The end.

Begone ye viruses: I can write a bad review

"Any thought you have is a MEME[mind] virus" ...so just discard it. The author seems to assert that if anything you have ever been taught gets between you and what you want (I guess that means morals too), just discard it. To paraphrase a few ideas: "beliefs are just in your mind", "everything you have ever been taught is just a mind/meme virus", "who told you that thing which you believe anyway", "you are god and I am god, so I can do anything".

I do not like this book. It is full of relative truth: anything is true is I want to believe it. That's his key to "success".

Tired of hearing about his accomplishments.

Good message if you can get past the tiresome resume he always brags about.

The Ultimate Awakening

I had the ultimate awakening while listening to this over and over again for two weeks straight. I had decided that perhaps the way to get reprogrammed would be to listent to it from the time I got into my car to the time I laid down my head. So, I downloaded it to my Zune and continued to listen.

One day while listening to it on the way home from work, I got it all. I understood the deeper message that was in this wonderful audio book version of Excuses Begone. So much of what he stated I had already read, knew or been exposed to but I think that listening to it audibly was the best thing that could have happened to me.

As a result of that awakening, I wanted everyone I know and love to get it especially those who are suffering from illnesses that are a result of false thinking.

I now know the truth about all that and know that they are whole beings with a misalignment that has manifested in a way that appears real to them.

Thank you God, Universe, Source for sending this message through Dr. Wayne W. Dyer.

Please get to the point

I honestly tried to be open minded and listen to the book, but wow! He kept going on an on. More like brain washing "you will be like god", I was waiting for the koolaid to be offered.

Helpful, but lacking

I downloaded this w/o seeing that it was a speech. It had some really good ideas and really helped me develop some new ways to think. But, yes, sometimes it rambled on and could have been more cohesive. I am downloading audiobooks of his because I found his ideas, humor and voice good.

Informative and challenging

Everyone should be taught how to use the technique introduced in this book. It's amazing how we develop self-defeating thoughts but it's just as amazing when you learn how to rid yourself of those behaviors by the thoughts you think. We all can choose to think differently and more importantly feel different about ourselves. And it all starts with the simple question of "is this thought absolutely, 100% true?". If not, I can choose to think (and act) otherwise. Excuses...Begone!

The "Accidental" download, that changed my life!

Yes, it's long, and yes, you have to make the time to truly listen to this but, not knowing anything about this book, series or the author I downloaded this seminar in the hopes it would give me some glimmer of motivation. I changed more than I ever have in my life, within 24 hours of soaking in the information from this eye opening seminar. Dr. Wayne Dyer, unknowingly, has helped me break open my mind and see why and how my thoughts are the guide in all I've done and all I will do.

I highly recommend this download. The humor, the calmness he portrays and the information he gives will change a willing persons mind, setting them on their new course toward personal success.

great job

I have been listening to wayne dyer for 3 yrs and this is his best up to date. With this audio book he explains a lot of questions i have had over the years altho i don,t agree with everything he said he is still by far very informative and real to his calling. I recomend this book above all others in this catigory. It is a must read and well worth it.
