Publisher's summary

Within the tracks of this transformational audio download set, Dr. Wayne W. Dyer reveals how to change the self-defeating thinking patterns that have prevented you from living at the highest levels of success, happiness, and health. Even though you may know what to think, actually changing those thinking habits that have been with you since childhood might be somewhat challenging. If I changed, it would create family dramas . . . I'm too old or too young . . . I'm far too busy and tired . . . I can't afford the things I truly want . . . It would be very difficult for me to do things differently . . . and I've always been this way . . . may all seem to be true, but they're in fact just excuses. So the business of modifying habituated thinking patterns really comes down to tossing out the same tired old excuses and examining your beliefs in a new and truthful light.

In this groundbreaking work, Wayne presents a compendium of conscious and subconscious crutches employed by virtually everyone, along with ways to cast them aside once and for all. You'll learn to apply specific questions to any excuse, and then proceed through the steps of a new paradigm. The old, habituated ways of thinking will melt away as you experience the absurdity of hanging on to them.

You'll ultimately realize that there are no excuses worth defending, ever, even if they've always been part of your life-and the joy of releasing them will resonate throughout your very being. When you eliminate the need to explain your shortcomings or failures, you'll awaken to the life of your dreams. Excuses . . . Begone!

No problems only bliss when you listen to Wayne

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

People think they have so many problems in life. And they are right. The good news is you have the choice to think you have no problems at all. Either way you are correct.

Probably better as a physical book...

As usual, lots of takeaways and great advice, experiences and so on.
The subject matter and content does not disappoint.

The only thing that bothered me was that Dr. Dyer seems to be rush-reading it which takes away from the message...

Listen~Rest ~Repeat, Listen ~Rest ~Repeat

I AM ... Always marvelled as to what I didn't hear the first lap around this brilliant Man's teachings. It's like he's been in and done a little edit to suit the present day's needed lesson.
