About this audiobook
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!

I read this book many years ago and still have on my bookshelf. I recently was going through some changes in my life and decided to download the audio book instead. For me, this started off a little slow. He did a lot of name-dropping of people, I guess I was supposed to know, but didn't. He's reading style sounded stiff, as if he were reading from a script. But as the chapters went on, he really warmed up and reminded me of the Wayne Dyer who was kind and personable. An excellent teacher I grew up watching on and all of those PBS specials. I got a lot out of this book the 2nd time around. It really helped me see things differently, and how I view myself, and my place in the world. It lifted me up when I was down. I highly recommend it. When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change- Wayne Dyer
