Intention = Attitude

Whether or not you've read Wayne Dyer's book, "The Power of Intention", you can benefit from the message on this CD set. If you DO read the book, I believe you'll get even more from Dyer's teachings about intention, and how to make it work in your life.

There have been hundreds of reviews written here on Amazon about the book. Lots of those reviews focused on Wayne Dyer himself, and not on the message he tries to convey. That's unfortunate, I think, because the message itself is important.

My interpretation of Dyer's message in "The Power of Intention" (both the CD's and the book) is: Intention is really all about ATTITUDE. YOUR attitude, and how you choose to look at, and think about, life.

Hey, we can ALL use an "attitude adjustment" from time to time. For that reason alone, the book is worth a read, and the CD's are worth a listen.

Unlock the Power of Intention in your everyday life

This 6-disk audio set is an important component of Wayne Dyer's successful program, The Power of Intention, which also includes the PBS special (available on DVD) and the bestselling book. It takes the teachings presented in the shorter 4-hour program to the next level, making them more accessible and actionable. It is also a wonderful complement to the book, helping you absorb its lessons into the daily fabric of your life.

The main idea behind Wayne Dyer's Power of Intention program is that we are all connected to Intention, which is an all-powerful, all-pervading force in the universe. If we allow ourselves to purify our conneciton to this field of energy, we can achieve fulfillment of all our desires, find happiness and peace, and finally be able to enjoy life with a true sense of inner purpose. Dr. Dyer helps you realize that happiness comes from within, and our patterns of thinking have a lot to do with what types of things we attract into our lives.

You do not need to have seen or listened to any of Dyer's other programs or read his book in order to get full benefit out of this CD set. Everything you need to fully connect with his message is here. He takes you step by step through his teachings, from explaining the concept of intention and what it means to be connected to it, to how you can overcome internal barriers and limitations, and finally to "the seven faces of intention" (i.e. the thought patterns that can help you connect to the Power of Intention). Unlike in his shorter program, Dyer spends a lot of time here going through specific actions that you can take in order to turn your limiting thought patterns around. Some examples include overcoming your ego, being aware of the importance of energy in your life (and what types of things increase or lower your energy), and thinking from the end that you wish to achieve.

Whether you are familiar with The Power of Intention program or not, I would strongly recommend this audio set to anyone who is interested in changing their life for the better. One of the most important reasons for listening to these CDs on a regular basis is that they allow you to absorb the teachings much more into the fabric of your daily life than a DVD or a book would. Wayne Dyer becomes your companion and mentor, and as you listen to these CDs, your thought patterns very soon will begin to change, reflecting his positive teachings. By listening to his message, you'll have an opportunity to change your life for the better in subtle yet immediate and meaningful ways.

Feed off of Wayne Dyer's energy

First some context on myself: I'm a 24 year old male, employed as a software engineer.

For me, listening to these CDs was enjoyable and productive.

Much of what Wayne Dyer recommends, positive thinking, and an unselfish, ego-free outlook, were not a new idea to me. But it helps to hear these ideas again from such a dynamic individual who provides numerous examples of it working in his own life.

He is a bit unorganized in instructing specific ways to help yourself live the right way. For instance, it isn't until the fourth disc that he specifically mentions meditation as an essential daily practice. If it is so essential, why not emphasize it earlier on? I find Deepak Chopra's "Seven Spiritual Laws of Success" to be better focused in this regard.

Overall though, if you view his lectures as inspirational, albeit rambling, advice from a wise, "high on life" man, you won't be dissapointed.
