Wayne Dyer Interview

[SeaBreeze]

Here's an interesting short interview with Energy Times and Wayne Dyer. He is the famous self-help author, who speaks about his spiritual evolution, and a meaningful life at any age. I often enjoy watching him speak on public television shows.

The self-help author and speaker discusses his spiritual evolution and finding meaning at any age.

Three years ago, Wayne Dyer, PhD, the self-help author and fixture on public television (his fans call him the “father of motivation”), immersed himself in the ancient philosophy Tao Te Ching. He wrote essays and lived the principals of its 81 verses in several-day periods of contemplation for each.


Dyer says the teachings of the enlightened Chinese philosopher Lao-tzu led to his own more flexible thinking and a mindset less attuned to ego. For Dyer, the study of the Tao marked another major shift in his spiritual growth, a change that informs both his first film, “The Shift,” released this year, and his newest book, Excuses Begone! (Hay House).


Dyer’s embrace of matters spiritual long precedes his study of the Tao. Dyer’s alcoholic father left the family when he was a baby. But a catharsis at his father’s gravesite—the realization that even that act of abandonment had a purpose in teaching Dyer self-reliance—prompted Dyer to forgive him.

Years later, Dyer expressed his love to the father he never knew in the dedication of his 2007 book, Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life: Living the Wisdom of the Tao (Hay House).

I've read several of Wayne Dyer's books and have seen his PBS specials. I especially like the way he talks about his children and friends and various personal situations and how they've worked out. I have some of his talks and meditations on my Mp3 player.

Rest in peace Wayne.

OMG!! That was freaky! I was reading a comment up there and noticed the person also had Dr Dyer's meditations on their ipod like I do, I looked at their name (one of 2 aliases I use sometimes on the internet) and it was ME!!! I don't ever recall being on here and yet, there I was in 2012. I looked at my profile and I had my age 3 years off. I am 66 today, not back then. I can't imagine what happened unless that was about the time I had a big computer crash and then when I got it all restored I lost everything and all the links I had saved. Either that or I've lost my mind and I'd prefer to think I'd lost the hard drive on my computer. And surely I must have made a mistake on my age as I am not into lying.
