Great Book

Easy to read and very insightful. I would recommend to read one verse a day and reflect on the message of the day.
You will benefit more if you keep an open mind.

Excellent

I am reading `Change your Thoughts ...' last thing at night and first thing in the morning. It is a Wonderful way to end the day and an Excellent way to begin the day.
I am taking a couple of days to read and `be with' each Verse. Dyer has included some wonderful phrases/quotes that I take into each day.

Really Brilliant, easy to read, short chapters.

I like Wayne Dyer, he writes some very current books. He is not my favorite author as I sometimes get a bit brain-tied with how he expresses himself. With some thinking though, I've got the message and it's been very useful.

Now this book is lovely. He breaks down the pithy "Tao Te Ching" with 81 little chapters on the wisdom of Lao Tzu. Taoism is based upon the wisdom of Lao Tzu.

What I really like is that the little essays are very digestible and quick to read. One doesn't really feel like racing through the book, which I usually do. Instead I've really enjoyed going over a new verse or two here and there. It's one of those books I feel that one will want to finish, yet is in no hurry to do so. For me a sign of a good book is if it's not picked up in two weeks one still thinks about a quick read of a chapter or two.

Once again I feel Wayne is right on the money with the timing of this book. He's come off the back of the recent, "cosmic law of attraction" and "power of intention" and gone back to an ancient text that is an immortal classic.

The only caveat I will lay down is have a read or listen to Pema Chodron's "good medicine", "meditation", "getting unstuck". One will develop a very quick way to cleanse from self-criticism and enter a purer open mind, embracing all our minds imperfections and realising they are not part of our true being. Then any reference of Wayne's to do this or that will be bypassed and the pure essence of his message will come shining through. Sometimes we all tend to have our filters on, adding little bits of our own beliefs, thereby losing the purity of the cosmic message.

Easier said than done

I bought the audio program...

Earl Nightingale came up with the strangest secret of You are what you think about a long time ago. Even at that time the critics thought that is no secret at all. I wholeheartedly agree with Wayne Dyer with regards to the main theme of the book but for me it has been quite difficult to follwo the advice of

Your feelings are a result of your thoughts. You are in control of your thoughts. Therefore, simply change your feelings by changing your thoughts. Much easier said than done...

Five hundred years before the birth of Jesus, a God-realized being named Lao-tzu in ancient China dictated 81 verses, which are regarded by many as the ultimate commentary on the nature of our existence. The classic text of these 81 verses, called the Tao Te Ching or the Great Way, offers advice and guidance that is balanced, moral, spiritual, and always concerned with working for the good.
In this book, Dr. Wayne W. Dyer has reviewed hundreds of translations of the Tao Te Ching and has written 81 distinct essays on how to apply the ancient wisdom of Lao-tzu to today?s modern world. This work contains the entire 81 verses of the Tao, compiled from Wayne?s researching of 12 of the most well-respected translations of text that have survived for more than 25 centuries. Each chapter is designed for actually living the Tao or the Great Way today. Some of the chapter titles are ?Living with Flexibility,? ?Living Without Enemies,? and ?Living by Letting Go.? Each of the 81 brief chapters focuses on living the Tao and concludes with a section called ?Doing the Tao Now.?
Wayne spent one entire year reading, researching, and meditating on Lao-tzu?s messages, practicing them each day and ultimately writing down these essays as he felt Lao-tzu wanted you to know them.
This is a work to be read slowly, one essay a day. As Wayne says, ?This is a book that will forever change the way you look at your life, and the result will be that you?ll live in a new world aligned with nature. Writing this book changed me forever, too. I now live in accord with the natural world and feel the greatest sense of peace I?ve ever experienced. I?m so proud to present this interpretation of the Tao Te Ching, and offer the same opportunity for change that it has brought me.?
