5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent little book for quick spiritual reminders, July 14, 2001

By 

Tim Burness (Brighton, England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Staying on the Path (Paperback)

This is a great book for flicking through now and again for some enlightening tips on life. It has helped me considerably over the last few years. As with all of Wayne Dyer's writing, the style is easy to read, empowering, gentle and occasionally very funny. Many of the quotes and aphorisms are worth burning into your subconscious, ready for recall at times when one feels "less than empowered", or as extra positive inspiration for when things are already going well!....

"When you argue for your limitations, all you get are your limitations" "Did you ever notice how difficult it is to argue with someone who is not obsessed with being right?" "The more you let go of people and things, the fewer obstacles you will have on your life's journey" "Being self-actualized means being able to welcome the unknown"

And there's plenty more where they came from! The challenge, as always of course, is to try and consistently live these ideas. Wayne Dyer is an excellent starting point.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gets Me to Work on Mondays!, January 16, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Staying on the Path (Audio Cassette)

When I can just barely drag myself into my car on Mondays, this tape is what keeps me going. It's a loosely strung-together array of Dr. Dyer's life-altering concepts, ideas that can wake you up and inspire you to take charge of your life even during the toughest of times. His advice got me through an agonizing career dilemma and back on the path to where I should have been headed all along. If you've got a nagging suspicion that you're life has already been decided for you, or if you're just not sure where you're headed, "Staying on the Path" ccould help you, too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Insightful Reminders, March 14, 2006

This review is from: Staying on the Path (Paperback)

I have read several books by this author (Dr. Wayne Dyer), and have received a great number of insights and "food for thought" within the pages of each & every one.

In this book, "Staying on the Path", Dr. Dyer sums up the most important insights into small sayings - each 1 to 2 sentences long. These insights remind us of such things as: we are more than our bodies, our lives reflect the choices we've made, our thoughts dictate what we find in ourselves & the world, and that love is what really matters.

I read this book from front to cover first, and now I plan to take 1 saying per day or week to reflect on - to make it apart of a new "life habit".

Overall, I found this book to be insightful & easy to read. As such, I would highly recommend it to anyone on a "spiritual journey", as well as those looking for thoughts/ideas that will help you to become the person you've always wanted to be - happy, fulfilled, and at peace with yourself and others...
