When I picked up this book, it was exactly the medicine I needed. If there's a project you're having trouble starting, something you keep dancing around and procrastinating, this is the book that will help you get past that inertia and get things rolling with enthusiasm. I got what I needed out of the first half of the book and I set it down, for months. I finally picked it back up just to finish the read, and I had a little trouble staying interested in the last half of the book, which seemd fairly repetitive and sometimes a little preachy. Perhaps I just don't need that information yet, I don't know, but I fully expect to not only reference this book on occasion but also to reread it a few more times. Maybe I'll find the second half of the book more useful and stimulating on a future reread. It's definitely a good library staple though, something to have on the shelf when you're giving yourself the run-around about something.   hide

Awesome Book, Especially Intro :) Not yet completed but started it :)

Not my favorite of Dr Dyers books, but he shows how one convinces oneself the types of excuses why one cannot do anything. It's really the state of mind, and we are made of entirely of thoughts. Change your thoughts, and your excuses will be gone. Good read otherwise.

Inspirational.

I listened to this book on CD on my drive to Florida last fall- it was great!

This book changed my view on everything within 24 hours!! Highly recommend it!!

Loved it fantasic

Of Course Wayne being my fav always love to read his books ! Now if I can just follow through and do it that is the test!

Excellent book! Provides personal examples, quotes from the bible. Learned that saying "I'm tired" is an excuse. He reminds the reader to contantly be in the NOW by quieting the mind through meditation and yoga.
