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!

Creating a Pearl

What made the experience of listening to Excuses Begone! the most enjoyable?

Like the proverbial oyster, Dr. Dyer takes on the tiny irritants in life, the ones that can grow eventually throwing you off course and into a ditch.

Excuses yes you’re gone!

I did find it very useful. I’ve read about the law of attraction some 15 years ago or so, and since then I’ve on and off reading about from different authors. But my ego always found a way to get me off applying it , and thus believing in it totally .
Excuses were such a relieving way to stop you from trying .After reading this I believe yes my excuses should not be welcomed. Wish my luck applying it

N/A

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

Too many to list here. It was hard to stay focused at times, but the content was so good that I did my best.

His voice was a little too monotone for me. I like to watch Dr Wayne's videos, would imagine seeing him live is awesome, love his books, and really love his material.
