Book Reviews of Making Your Thoughts Work For You 4-CD Live Lecture
Book Review: Highly recommended
Summary: 5 Stars
I listened to these cd's when I was driving to and from work and enjoyed them immensley. Byron has to be one of the most compassionate, loving people I have had the fortune of crossing paths with and her exercise was quite provoking in making you look at how your thought process works (or doesn't work!). I appreciated the audience participation and question period at the end of the cd because each person asked questions and gave examples from their own lives that were easy to relate to. Wayne's presentation was rewarding and I always appreciate how he gets his point across about quite heartfelt matters but he manages to do this while maintaining a cheeky sense of humor. Book Review: Wayne Dyer is always worth the price
Summary: 5 Stars
I really enjoy Dr. Dyer's input on this lecture.....it's worth the price just to listen to him....I wasn't that impressed with the way Byron Katie presented her portion.....but I would buy it again...Book Review: Wayne Dyer & Byron Katie
Summary: 4 Stars
Of course Wayne Dyer is incredible and in this CD he speaks of growth that he himself has done, changing his way of being in the world. Teaming up with Byron Katie, gives actual concrete ways to apply personal growth to day to day relationships with all relations (wives, husbands, children, coworkers) How do you interact in the world; how do you reflect what is going on inside YOU and apply it in your relationships is evident in this workshop with real people. GreatBook Review: Just not sure about Byron Katie...
Summary: 2 Stars
I love Wayne Dyer - I've seen him live 3 times, have enjoyed every minute of it and have re-read several of his books. So you see, I'm INTO this kind of stuff. This CD however is a bit of a disappointment, as it feels like a re-hash of things you've already heard (especially if you keep up with his latest writings or Podcasts.) I believe it was from a live event they did together last summer. Not a terrible program, just nothing fresh ( same jokes, same examples given)
Now for Byron Katie---I really have a hard time with her. I have read a couple of her books and listened to her a number of times. I really WANT to like her. I listen---it makes sense, and then it seems that every time (this CD included) her process of `The Work" starts to go off the deep end for and turns into new-age gobblygook. Her method of reasoning for every situation begins to sound like random nonsense to me, no matter how hard I try to get into it. You could probably say the same about Dyer, yet I find his approach more sincere and down to earth. Her habit of calling everyone `sweetheart' really becomes grating after awhile as well.
Book Review: Inspiring Combination
Summary: 5 Stars
What a dynamic, inspiring combination - Wayne Dyer and Byron Katie together. The CD begins with Dr. Dyer speaking about his own spiritual adventures and the challenges he has recently and not-so-recently faced and overcome and the stories of several people he has encountered who have overcome obstacles placed by their beliefs and thoughts. He talks about the Tao Te Ching and how it has affected his overcoming of obstacles as well - how it has changed his own thinking and that of others. He also talks of his friendship with Byron Katie and in doing "the Work" which is Byron Katie's technique for getting to a deeper level of spiritual understanding of events and situations in one's life. In the next portion of the CD, Byron Katie comes on, and with just a brief introduction, launches right into "the Work" with several participants. The sessions are very moving and representative of the kinds of deep understandings that often come from doing "the Work." Finally, the last portion is a question and answer session with the audience. All in all, it's a very inspiring overview of both authors work. It's especially good, obviously, with recognizing and identifying thoughts and belief systems that may be disabling your life.
