Wayne Dyer was an enormously influential counselor, self-help author, and spiritual thinker. He became a popular professor of counselor education at St. John’s University, where he was approached by a literary agent to put his ideas into book form. The result was his first book, Your Erroneous Zones (1976), one of the best-selling books of all time, with an estimated 100 million copies sold. This launched Dyer’s career as a motivational speaker and self-help author, during which he published 20 more best-selling books and produced a number of popular specials for PBS.
Influenced by thinkers such as Abraham Maslow and Albert Ellis, Dyer’s early work focused on psychological themes such as motivation, self actualization and assertiveness. By the 1990s, the focus of his work had shifted to spirituality, where he collaborated with and interacted with the ideas of Deepak Chopra and was a frequent guest with Oprah Winfrey.
Enjoy this meditation by Dyer as he guides through a reflection of ways to address the complexities of any given day and ways to stay positive in pursuit of affirming and uplifting experiences.
