Answer 1

Answer 2

OFF-TOPIC! Idk this is RELIG here...see Singles&Dating

Gotta get cat from washing machine , brb

Answer 3

I've read a few of his books. They did literally nothing for me at all. Too "godly" and not "spiritual" enough....which is entirely subjective, I realize, perspective being what it is and all. I prefer Deepak Chopra. Now that man can write a sentence that can change your views on existence.  

Answer 4

I think he is very good at getting people to think! A friend lent me a series of his tapes,8 years ago. I think it was a book on cassette but any way I was married to an alcoholic at the time and Wayne said that he had a client who was married to an alcoholic He said how can you expect him to act any different? He IS an alcoholic and that is why he ACTS like an alcoholic. We can't change anyone else we must change ourselves. I knew then that I had to examine my life and if I was happy in the way it was going. I was putting way to much worry about him and not God. I had stopped going to church because, I was afraid he would set the house on fire as he did when I was in the hospital for a heart attack. My Husband had progressed so far into his alcoholism that he had suffered brain damage. I divorced him. This was the best thing I could have done for myself. Thank you Wayne.

Answer 5

I've heard him on PBS. Not much substance. Mostly feelgood pychobabble.  

Answer 6

Sure, he is alright on a spiritual level.

Answer 7

Some of what he says makes sense, some of it is New Age nonsense.  

He seems to think that the "universe" will give you what you need if you wish really hard for it.  

Answer 8

Yes, I have read a few of his books, and he has made a large, positive  impact on my life. My favorite saying of his is: "I"m a human being not a human doing."

Fireball,

Wayne Dyer is a spiritual teacher. I have no idea why you would want this question to go in the Singles and Dating section. He's definitely a nice guy, but far from being a heart throb.

By the way, I hope your cat is O.K.  

Answer 9

Sorry, I would have to google him and don't have time now.
