The Shift by Dr. Wayne Dyer

I am so excited to have received an advance copy of Dr. Wayne Dyer’s, The Shift, which was released today by Hay House Publishing. I thought it would be interesting to share some of my findings about the new book. I’ve read more than half the books Dr. Dyer has written and I’ve always come away with numerous nuggets of insight and truths. The Shift was no different.

In true, clear Dyer style, the author lays out for us how everyone eventually has a light bulb of truth register in their head and at that moment we move from what he calls the morning to the afternoon of our life. We go from ambition to meaning. The morning/afternoon metaphor works nicely as we try to understand our own lives and coming of age. Most of us think of this moment as midlife crises. Instead of a crisis we have the opportunity to use the defining moment to move our life ahead with intention and on purpose, Dyer asserts. Unfortunately, I’ve witnessed some who squander this period of their life on sports cars or boats because they’re married to their ego and sadly miss the proverbial boat.

Dr. Dyer explains that if we listen to the mantra of the ego all morning long which is more, more, more…more of everything, please! We end up with less in the afternoon. As afternoon approaches, as the doctor says, we have the choice to head toward something meaningful and valuable – you’re true life purpose.

If you haven’t had the opportunity to pick up on of Dr. Dyer’s books, The Shift is a great place to start. And, if you’re not a reader, The Shift is also a movie! I suggest going to the publisher’s web site, http://www.hayhouse.com/details.php?id=4672&utm_id=3313 to get your copies. You may also get The Shift on the following sites:
