Publisher's summary

The Tao Te Ching, attributed to the Chinese philosopher Lao-tzu, has been called "the wisest book ever written". Comprised of 81 short verses, it is a book of wisdom that has been translated more than any work in the world, with the exception of the Bible. This classic text offers advice and guidance that is moral and spiritual, and is a valuable resource for achieving a way of life that guarantees integrity, joy, and balance.

In this extraordinary program, taped live on the campus of the California Center for the Arts in Escondido, California, Dr. Wayne W. Dyer presents his interpretation of the verses, encouraging you to see them as insights into life and nature. The core program addresses how, by applying the Tao, it's possible to change your thoughts on some of the most profound questions and issues confronting you today - and how, by doing so, your life will be transformed in a peaceful and harmonious way.

You will understand how, by understanding and emulating the qualities of water, you can go from "being rigid and certain, confident and demanding" to being "flowing and allowing, humble and soft"...and so can bring about the dramatic achievement of living an unhurried life.

You need to be a Dyer fan

I was really hoping the in the short 2 hours the Tao would have been more deeply explored but instead it was more like "the Wayne Dyer show". Had I known this was a NPR broadcast and not really "a book" I wouldn't have made the purchase.

This is not a book!

I thought I was buying a book. This is a talk in front of an audience. Disappointed

Beautifully done

I enjoyed listening to this book.
It's amazing how the simplest things in life can be so life changing , they are right there in front of us, but yet we don't realize.

This is not what I wanted at all...

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

Someone not familiar with the actual book.

Has Change Your Thoughts - Change Your Life turned you off from other books in this genre?

No, but it's made me concerned that Audible contains titles that are not true to the comparable written content.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Dr. Dyer was wonderful as always - the content was just not what I expected.

What character would you cut from Change Your Thoughts - Change Your Life?

There are no characters in this book.

Any additional comments?

I own the hardcover book of this title. As I am becoming visually impaired, I am switching my library over to Audible. This book is a 'daily read' for me. However, this Audible program is the audio track of a PBS television special of the same name as his book. Very very disappointed as Alexa cannot read the original title to me, and this is *NOT* the book.

great book. I love Tao Te Ching

this helps me with many positive, insightful thoughts. funny as well as a humble reminder that I need to rid myself if EGO. And to "Let Go & Let God".
Highly recommend this.

Food for my mind

A healthy diet for your mind! Doesn't take too long to go through it but the effect of it powerful!

Good lessons

Whenever I read the Tao I learn something new. Here the author takes us through their experiences while living the Tao for each day for 84 days. It's a good look at what it would take to live the Tao today and how it can be accomplished.

More about his life on Maui than the Tao

Full of personal anecdotes. Anybody can be cool, true, but it is maybe a bit easier from your house on the beach in Hawaii. Ditto leaving your New York digs completely behind….. obviously someone else took care of the less transcendent details, the list goes on.
I bought this because I thought it would be a nice addition to his book of the same title. Only correlated to the Tao in a very haphazard manner and very much through the lens of his personal experience.
