“Each time you send love in response to hate, you diffuse the hate.” ~Wayne Dyer It seems amazing to think about how words can destroy or enliven our lives. One sentence can inspire a new direction and a phrase can transform your existence. When we are struggling with decisions it is often the wise words of a friend that saves us from making the wrong choice. Dr. Wayne W. Dyer’s thoughts have always been an inspiration to me and I see them as meaningful messages for a hurting planet. There is so much pain in life, but there is also the possibility of living in pure joy. I still love thinking about this quote: “You are not a human being having a spiritual experience. You are a spiritual being having a human experience.” What an empowering thought.
This book is filled with inspiring ideas that refocus your attention on how things actually are instead of how you thought they originally should be. On the surface we may feel that we are drowning in life’s challenges, but when you think of yourself as an eternal soul, problems melt away and you view your life from an eternal perspective. This doesn’t mean that you don’t deal with anguish and sorrow, but you deal with it from a new perspective. Life becomes a blink of the eye in the light of an eternal existence. Dr. Dyer explains forgiveness as an act of self-love because when you forgive you simply don’t have to carry the problem around with you. Dr. Dyer is really stating what our souls already know to be true. He just says everything so brilliantly. Lately, I’ve been contemplating his advice about loving those who are difficult to love. I am thinking about his statement about loving and his statement about “the more you give away, the more you get back.”
Words can be used as powerful weapons to destroy or they can bring great beauty to our lives. I see beauty in Dr. Wayne Dyer’s revelation of inner wisdom. I seem to think about his words at least once a day, especially when I start to think negatively. I am just a soul trying to live in this body that ties me to the earth. One day I won’t live here anymore and it is empowering to think of myself as an eternal being temporarily in this school of life. “You create your thoughts, your thoughts create your intentions, and your intentions create your reality.” ~Dr. Wayne W. Dyer

Absolutely excellent by J. Powles (UK)

I purchased this book 2 years ago and am now replacing it; I read it A LOT! I find it easy to quote the statements/affirmations in many different situations in life (I have almost memorized them). The book really does offer words of wisdom. I like the short statements, as varied as they are, rather than a continuous dialogue.
Mr. Dyer states that the book is designed this way, to pick out one idea at a time. I can read it over and over again, and still catch something I missed, or understood differently before. If you want to hear a postive message, if you want to retrain your thinking to a loving/positive mode, I can’t say enough good about the message in this book.
Full of inspiration and motivational quotes by Dan E. Ross (Frisco, Tx USA)

I love these small books full of great little inspiration quotes. I believe a slightly better book is The Power of Influence – Life Lessons On Relationships by John Maxwell. The key to ranking this book depends on what you are seeking to get out of the book. I believe the title, Everyday Wisdom, is correct.
The only thing that would have been a bit more helpful would have been better organization throughout. It seems to jump around a lot but, overall, the book is very inspirational. They key to getting long-term value out of a book like this is to highlight the quotes you love and integrate them into your daily life. Practice what you read essentially. Hope this helps everyone.

I found this small book big on inspiration and very helpful. Dr Dyer has wonderful insight and is great at collecting words that encourage and motivate even the laziest of people. I enjoyed it so much that I recommended it to several friends who were down because of lifes turns and needed a pick me up.
