Description:
Within the pages of this transformational book, Dr. Wayne W. Dyer reveals how to change the self-defeating thinking patterns that have prevented you from living at the highest levels of success, happiness, and health. Even though you may know what to think, actually changing those thinking habits that have been with you since childhood might be somewhat challenging.

"If I changed, it would create family dramas . . . IÕm too old or too young . . . IÕm far too busy and tired . . . I canÕt afford the things I truly want . . . It would be very difficult for me to do things differently . . . and IÕve always been this way . . ." may all seem to be true, but theyÕre in fact just excuses. So the business of modifying habituated thinking patterns really comes down to tossing out the same tired old excuses and examining your beliefs in a new and truthful light.

In this groundbreaking work, Wayne presents a compendium of conscious and subconscious crutches employed by virtually everyone, along with ways to cast them aside once and for all. YouÕll learn to apply specific questions to any excuse, and then proceed through the steps of a new paradigm. The old, habituated ways of thinking will melt away as you experience the absurdity of hanging on to them.

YouÕll ultimately realize that there are no excuses worth defending, ever, even if theyÕve always been part of your lifeÑand the joy of releasing them will resonate throughout your very being. When you eliminate the need to explain your shortcomings or failures, youÕll awaken to the life of your dreams.
