No conflict between material desires and spritual goals. Great concepts and they work.Get this book and An Encounter With A Prophet if you want hugh changes in your life.

I have read a large number of books on this topic (much of which I have put into practice and yielded results) but this manual is surely the foundation and bedrock of them all. Rather than implicitly requiring the reader "to have faith", Dr. Dyer explains the underlying principles of manifesting, then proceeds in a no-nonsense manner to outline the "how-to" of it all. It's simple and easy to follow, and above all, uplifting. Unlike other publications such as "Your Heart's Desire" by Sonia Choquette, which writes around the subject, Dr. Dyer encompasses both practical how-to together with a more spiritual aspect. There is no paradox between spirituality and wanting material things; both worlds go hand in hand together. A must-have book. (Other excellent accompaniments are "Creative Visualization" by Shakti Gawain, and "Living Magically" and "Stepping Into the Magic" by Gill Edwards.)

Wayne W. Dyer is the first motivational Author whose book I read years ago. I visited a small second hand bookstore in San Francisco and his book "Real Magic" fell down from the shelf, I bought it, and it literally transformed my entire life into a new adventure.

With his help, a high school student became a successful young man with a promising future. Ever since I have met miracles and real magic in my life day by day... and with his help I have been able to achieve wonderful results.

However, I am deeply disappointed at Wayne's book "9 spiritual principles". This book is the worst title by author who could write ten times better books.

This book is first of all written by confusing concept. Second, it does not really give you anything new if you have read his book Real Magic.

Third, this book rumbles over number of subjects, and it sounds rather unstable concept -- eventhough I know these principles do work.

After all, I lost all my excitement to read this book when I was in page 30, I laid down the book...and didn't read it for months.. Then I found it again, read it through twice, but still didn't like it too much.

You will do yourself a favor if you leave this title to those who are not familiar with spiritual laws.

IF YOU really want to read a good book, buy Real Magic by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer. In my opinion, Real Magic is Wayne's greatest book and this is the worst.

Wayne -- I really love your books...but this time I have to admit that I am not very happy with these 9 spiritual laws. This book might be a wonderful one if it would have 50 pages less, and it would be more like Deepak Chopra's 7 spiritual success laws or something.

After my second reading I was pretty sure that this book is nothing new. It is like 3 or 4 of his older books combined in one with not so good result.

If you still want to buy this book...go ahead, maybe it will please you more and resonate with you more than it did with me.

I am not a fan of self help books. Like many people, I approach them with skepticism, maybe even think I am too smart for them, or go in with the attitude that the author's only intent is to try to make a quick buck.
All that, as a preface to say how wonderful this book is.
Dyer's suggestions not only work, but they are all rooted in the most high-minded concepts of love and faith. He has made the teachings of the New Testament come alive to me in a way I never learned in church -- though I do get more out of church having read his book.
This book is a masterpiece. My copy is dog-eared, and yet every time I open it, I am struck by his wisdom.
Manifest Your Destiny may sound like a new agey approach to taking, taking, taking from this world. Rather, it shows how living in love and faith attract all good things to you. I would have thought myself that this was too simplistic, but that is the talent and the wisdom of Dyer. Sometimes when I read this book, it feels almost like a holy text.
I might also note that while I realize Dyer is a very wealthy and famous author now, to read his works, I really believe he is a man who is interested most in helping people and bringing peace to the world.
If you want to buy one book about improving your life and living more in harmony and happiness, this is it!

I bought this book along with "Meditations for Manifesting". Together, these two items are powerful. I read the book every night and practiced the meditations morning and night. Within a week of starting both, miraculous things started happening in my life. Books and people started showing up that lead me to my current home-based business and on to being debt-free and financially secure. It can work for you too. Follow Dr. Dyer's suggestions and meditations AND trust ...it does work.

This is a "peak experience" book by this author. It shows how he has "arrived", succeeded in manifesting his destiny ... It is the culmination of all previous books written by Dr. Wayne Dwyer. He identifies the foundation of success by outlining and fusing basic principles from the Judeo-Christian perspective as well as Eastern religions and philosophies. The basics are 1) "becoming aware of your higher self". By recognizing one's connection between this world and the unseen world a person can transcend the limitations of the physical world and achieve personal goals, here and now. 2) "Trusting yourself is trusting in the wisdom that created you". In essence, to succeed and achieve anything starts with a belief and trust that it can be done. The corollaries to this are, admitting one's confusion and doubt, accepting that there is love and support because we are not alone but part of a higher divinity. Another principle is 3) recognizing the holographic nature of the universe, which means everyone is connected through the principle of consciousness and thought. Keeping one's desired manifestation secret allows less dispersal of one's personal energy to those who react and thereby direct one's energy elsewhere. Recognizing G-d's unconditional love frees a person up from becoming judgemental. You essentially become a compassionate witness to everyone and everything that is happening in your life. The source of creation is a loving peaceful energy, there is no need to force or apply pressure to this achievement. The practice of meditation is recommended to achieve harmony with the Spirit and Source of all things. He advocates the sounding of "om" in the evening and "ah" in the morning as standard rituals - highlighting that sound is the one energy in which we can participate. Dwyer states, "Sounds literally mold the abstract world of thought and spirit into shape." [p. 113, Harper Perennial, c. 1997]. He adds, "Keep in mind that sound is the vibrational frequency between the world of solid matter or form as we know it and the higher vibrational frequencies of the formless world of universal spirit." [p.114] Mental imagery of your desire is recommended to formulate that it is possible and already exists as real. One of the last principles is expressing gratitude and generosity after one has manifested one's desire. This last principle expands to a life of service on some level to share one's understanding, awareness, or achievement with humanity. This closes the circle of energy and love that we receive from Spirit and lets more of it manifest in the world. This book is highly recommended.

One of these evergreen (audio-)books, which could teach you the World if you are open enough to accept it as it is (taught). I think it was very much worth to hear Wayne's voice and sacrifice some details of the book (since this version is abridged) for later. I do recommend the book for those people who want to find or deepen spirituality in their relation towards the world, the family, the self. This is not a book on how to become materially rich, it is one that will make you spiritually richer instead. Go for it and trust Wayne!

I just wanted to humbly disagree with the review from "C. De Luz - cdeluz".

If you are truly in search of God, then you have to go inside you. Once you find him inside, you will also experience him outside. There are a million scriptures in this world from all the different religions but if you look closely, all of them guide you inside. Whether Jesus said it or Krishna (the Hindu lord), it all leads you to the same. Please don't go by words what Jesus said, rather hear what he said "forgive them....". If you keep reading words from bible or any other scriptures for that matter, you might as well not read it.

I urge you, not read it from an engineer's mind (which I also have) but read it from a spiritual heart. When Dr. Dyer speaks, I can feel him touching my soul and instantly puts me in meditaional bliss even with my eyes wide open and mind working.

I hope that you can feel it too but the only way you can do this is by surrender. Don't go by the words he is using but hear the silence between the words and I am sure you will hear the devine music.

As a former Jesuit and Buddhist/Vedantist practitioner for 14 years and a married householder for 16 years, I have read scores of books in the Great Tradition of spiritual literature. Dyer's "Manifest Your Destiny" is one of the best books I have ever read. It is not a "method" for manifesting what you want, but a needed call to change your thoughts and beliefs so that you might know that you (along with all of creation) are one with the universal Spirit or God-force. It is this knowing, I believe, that forms the foundation for genuine manifestation that goes beyond using the mind which has only the past to draw upon. Read this book slowly as a meditation and it will very likely draw you in, as it did me, to the sacred place from which it was written. Read it in a mood of quiet and reverence and you will be well on your way to manifesting what you want most in life.

Having read other books by Dr. Dyer, I wasn't
sure what to expect here. I was surprised to
find he has incorporated some of his key
teachings and thoughts from past books on
issues like trust and the past, and added new
information on how the reader can connect with
their Higher Self though practicing the Nine
Spiritual Principles outlined and explained
in easy to understand and apply ways in each
chapter.

The book's subject matter and title may sound
lofty, etherial or real "metafizzie" but it's
written in language anyone interested in self
growth and/or spirituality issues can easily
understand and put to use. The title is very
direct and to the point. If one follows these
principles and lives their life as Dr. Dyer
is encouraging and teaching, I am sure they
will find as I have, that their life is more
peaceful, that they understand more of their
"purpose" for being here, and that they have
a greater sense of control over their destiny
just as the title suggests. Bravo, Wayne.
