Book Description-
Change Your
Thoughts Change Your Life
Dr. Wayne Dyer
Read this book and learn how to change your
thoughts, and change your life as Dr. Wayne
Dyer reveals modern life lessons from the
ancient wisdom text, the Tao Te Ching.
Five hundred years before the birth of Jesus,
a God-realized being named Lao-tzu in ancient
China dictated 81 verses, which are regarded
by many as the ultimate commentary on the
nature of our existence. The classic text of
these 81 verses, called the Tao Te Ching or
the Great Way, offers advice and guidance that
is balanced, moral, spiritual, and always
concerned with working for the good.
In this book, Dr.
Wayne W. Dyer has reviewed hundreds of
translations of the Tao Te Ching and has
written 81 distinct essays on how to apply the
ancient wisdom of Lao-tzu to today’s modern
world. This work contains the entire 81 verses
of the Tao, compiled from Wayne’s researching
of 12 of the most well-respected translations
of text that have survived for more than 25
centuries. Each chapter is designed for
actually living the Tao or the Great Way
today. Some of the chapter titles are “Living
with Flexibility,” “Living Without Enemies,”
and “Living by Letting Go.”
Each of the 81 brief
chapters focuses on living the Tao and
concludes with a section called “Doing the Tao
Now.” Wayne spent one entire year reading,
researching, and meditating on Lao-tzu’s
messages, practicing them each day and
ultimately writing down these essays as he
felt Lao-tzu wanted you to know them.
This is a work
to be read slowly, one essay a day. As Wayne
says, “This is a book that will forever
change the way you look at your life, and the
result will be that you’ll live in a new world
aligned with nature. Writing this book changed
me forever, too. I now live in accord with the
natural world and feel the greatest sense of
peace I’ve ever experienced. I’m so proud to
present this interpretation of the Tao Te
Ching, and offer the same opportunity for
change that it has brought me.”
