Publisher's summary

In Excuses Begone! Dr. Wayne W. Dyer reveals how to change lifelong, self-defeating thinking patterns that prevent you from living at the highest levels of success, happiness, and health. You may know what to think but find it terribly difficult to change thinking habits that have been with you since childhood.

This business of changing habituated thinking patterns is really the business of eliminating the same old tired excuses. People are forever using excuses and defending those excuse patterns as if they were actually true. But there are no excuses worth defending ever, even if they've always been part of your life.

This audiobook represents Wayne's effort to help anyone whose self-defeating thoughts are persistently present to learn how to discard those old thinking habits - and discover the infinite possibilities of life!

Changed my life!!!!

Would you listen to Excuses Begone! again? Why?

Yes, because I learn from it each time I read it, it transformed my life!

What other book might you compare Excuses Begone! to and why?

Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle, because it also teaches how to stop living in yesterday and projecting into the future. I recommend Wayne Dyer before Tolle as Tolle went over my head until I read a few of Dyers books.

Have you listened to any of Wayne W. Dyer’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

yes. I have listened to most of Wayne Dyers, I am partial to this one because it was the catalyst that started my awakening and getting out of my negative thinking pattern.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I wanted to but could not, too much to absorb.

Any additional comments?

The first time I read this was about a year ago in Kindle format, I was in deep depression and had suffered from it most of my adult life, having had a bad childhood and broken marriage, i made an identity for myself from it and didnt know it, This book showed me how I was creating my own suffering by the power of my thoughts! I highly recommend anyone ready for a drastic change in their lives to get this book, the audible or the paper back Just get it! For Christians, be open to other beliefs it doesnt mean you have to change your spirtitual life, it means it will enhance it, whatever you dont believe toss it but dont let it stop you from reading this book. I have been a christian a long time but still suffered from my self induced suffering, no more! Excuses are gone! Thank you Wayne Dyer

Clear and compelling

Any additional comments?

Given the number of exercises, meditations, etc. a PDF of these would be really useful.

Repeat, repeat repeat

Would you consider the audio edition of Excuses Begone! to be better than the print version?

One has to hear the message sometimes to get it. Bookmark the steps and get on with an excuse free life. Listen to it again. repeat as necessary

If you’ve listened to books by Wayne W. Dyer before, how does this one compare?

The doctor come through again. More practical, less TITILLATING than some of his early works.

Which character – as performed by Wayne W. Dyer – was your favorite?

Can the writer read what he wrote? Yes. The unabridged author read is great.

What did you learn from Excuses Begone! that you would use in your daily life?

I learned I am who I am right in this very moment. Let go of the past and the need to "excuse ourselves" God forgave me and let me live on, why can't others...why shouldn't I?

Any additional comments?

If we think It's a tough life, listen to Frank McCourt "Tis " or "Angela's Ashes."
Carpe Diem!

It is long, but worth it

If you already know the author, and his other works it may seem repetitive or predictable, but (like me) if you see it a a lesson of life, it is surely worth your time. Wayne Dyer has possibly saved my life, by way of sending me towards God & Love. This book, and his own life examples, in my opinion, further reinforces the belief that you can always start change.

Dr. Wayne Dyer still lives through his work today.

I love the way Dr. Wayne Dyer reads and presents this book. This was an easy listen and I am anxious to listen to it again. I picked up so many life changing ideas from what Wayne presented.
This is one of those books that will stand the test of time and still be relevant long into the future.
I, for one, highly recommend this for anyone who wants to start getting rid of their excuses and start living their life.

Another Amazing Book from Wayne Dyer

This book gives you complete clarity on the roadblocks and excuses that are preventing you from living your best life. It is understandable, simplistic (though backed by impressive research) and most of all practical. Dr. Dyer gives REALISTIC approaches to eliminating roadblocks (excuses) in one's life. I highly recommend this book, if one approach can help you or make you think differently, it has paid for itself ten fold. He is also amazing to see in person if you ever get the chance. Bravo Hay House for continuing to provide the world with books authored by intelligent, thought provoking people. And no, I do not represent Hay House or any of it's affiliates, the book is just that good.
