101 Ways to transform your life

This is a great resource. Informative, insightful, and practical.

25 48 99 101? MYSTICAL and DISORGANIZED

With 7 glowing 5-star reviews I had high expectations for this. Unfortunately it is short, very short, only 55 minutes. Dyer could have picked any number of "wisebits" or tidbits of inspiration: Top 25, Big 50, Spectacular 101.

I found Dyer's numbering of these points to discount from the messages that he delivers. It is obvious that these numbers 1 ... 101 are not ranked, not sorted or representative of any structured order, i.e. they are arbitrary.

You get to listen to blase new age piano serenity in the background, with Dyer speaking in a hushed tone. I found his counting out of the numbers -- "Number Sixty Five ..." -- to distract from the messages. He pauses between each point, it is easy to distinguish one from another.

This is just a big bucket of ideas, some good, some too common-sensical, some ordinary, some silly (mystical, magical). And since it is only 55 minutes, and there are generous pauses in between, he has only 20 seconds or so to cover each grand tidbit of wisdom. This would be much better in book form, IMO.

I don't seek spiritual mystical gurus who base most/all of their knowledge on mystical, magical ideas. Dyer loves to talk about higher self, spirituality, "divine masters", "divine plan", God, God, God, God, blah blah. If you are looking for new age spirituality, he's your man. (Dyer is certainly smarter and far more sane than other gurus ... like the very strange Eckhart Tolle.)

I like facts, logic, order, structure. I like the ability to hear a set of ideas and think "yes, that's logical, it's a coherent set of knowledge". I can see those things making clear sense for everyone. Much of the knowledge is "sourced", i.e. attributable to great thinkers/philosophers going back even thousands of years (like Confucious, Socrates, Aristotle, etc). I like knowledge that is universal, not arbitrary and subjective. I recommend works by Brian Tracy. He's much more of a professional coach in personal development and achievement, like a college professor instead of an itinerant motivational preacher with mystical ideas.

If you like spiritual, faith-based, "feel good", soft-touchy-feely-mushy, gentle, soul-cuddling, soft-spoken self-help, then this is for you. If that's your preferred style, and if you like to turn the lights down and do light meditation while listening to this, maybe you'll really like it. I didn't care for it.

Another great Dyer audio book...

I came across this CD at wholefoods supermarket by accident. I took it home listened
to it and was very pleased. There was a lot of knowledge and wisdom
from his many books and tapes and was put together in 101 ways to
transform your life. Aside, from the excellent content it is nice to
be use as a meditation tape. I put it on and go to sleep and always
awaken refreshed and positive. I gave it to my adult son who is
going through challenges with his wife and family and he said he
did feel peaceful after listing to this tape. After listening to it
again, I decided that if a person is not into positive thinking or metaphysical
thinking then this is not the first tape I would recommend. I think it
depends on the person but I would not recommend it to someone who
has never read or listened to self help material as the first tape.
This is a great CD. I highly recommend it. F.J.
