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!

Hi , This was the first of many Wayne Dyer books i downloaded. i found it very useful and it truly helps put our old beliefs and causes of excuses into perspective. As always . Dy Dyer was not only informative, inspiring but his light hearted humor made the learning that much more enjoyable.

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.

Honest Unity

We all have such an incredible ability to lie to our selves in the way of excuses. Another way of being, Wayne explains to us, is we also have an ability to be honest with ourselves if we choose and feel unity with God and ourselves and be at peace with all. An Audible book I will want to listen to often.
