As we contemplate leaving t The Shift—a companion book to the movie of the same name—illustrates how and why to make the move from ambition to meaning. Such a shift eliminates our feelings of separateness, illuminates our spiritual connectedness, and involves moving from the ego-directed morning into the afternoon of life where everything is primarily influenced by purpose. As we contemplate leaving the morning of our life, where ego has played a commanding role, and entering the afternoon (and evening), where meaning and purpose replace ambition and struggle, we may encounter unexpected occurrences that accompany this new direction.

It’s almost a universal law that we’ll experience a fall of some kind. Yet these falls or low points provide the energy we need to move away from ego and into a life of meaning and purpose. The Shift doesn’t mean that we lose our drive and ambition; it signifies that we become ambitious about something new. We make a commitment to living a life based on experiencing meaning and feeling purposeful, rather than never-ending demands and false promises that are the trademark of the ego’s agenda.

Dyer so eloquently reveals in these pages, we all have the choice to shift our lives from ambition to meaning. And thereby complete our return to the Source that created us. There were parts of this book that I really liked, although much of that seemed recycled from other books I have read in the past. The first two chapters were painful. Full of flowerly, obtuse language, I found myself chuckling and not for the right reasons.

The first two chapters were painful. Full of flowerly, obtuse language, I found myself chuckling and not for the right reasons. He has some excellent points about letting go and not defining your life by possessions and ambition.

But, I didn't necessarily agree with him on all of his ruminations on ambition. At times he seemed to be saying that we should be wholly without ambition and do nothing.

That seems bizzare to me and not just because I was raised in a pro-ambition American society. Yes, comparisons to others and their material possessions are not helpful, but ambition and success also makes people feel good about themselves, contributing to self-esteem, something he mentions as a good thing. If I were to do nothing in my life I'd be a fairly miserable person. The last two chapters were better and he actually backtracks from his ambition is evil argument a bit. It also struck me as curious that early on he criticized organized religion and their God who is separate from his followers and all of that God's 'rules.'

Yet, he continually refers to 'God' in the book and quotes the Bible, the receptable of all of those 'rules', frequently. I understand he is using passages from the Bible that relate to his overall argument, but he should be more careful about making sweeping generalizations about anything, including organized religion, and then trying to use the tenets of those religions to make his point.

It comes across and disingenious and insincere. I really enjoyed this book so much because of its deep and Influential message, its way in writing & the light of self-awareness moments that I've experienced while reading this book. I loved the way when Dr.Wane Dayer divided the chapters according to the stages of awareness. From being connected to God when we were in our mother uterus completely surrender to him and then we gradually get detached when we came to the world because of our ego that mostly controls the way we live and then he I really enjoyed this book so much because of its deep and Influential message, its way in writing & the light of self-awareness moments that I've experienced while reading this book.

Dr.Wane Dayer made a movie 'The shift' has the same name and concept of the book.

And I've watched it before reading the book about 2 years ago, but still, the book is more useful and worth to have. At the end, I strongly recommend this book for everyone. I really enjoyed Wayne Dyer’s latest book, Wishes fulfilled, but I found this one a bit hard going and difficult to get into, hence the four instead of five stars. Wayne discusses the shift “from ambition to meaning” which is also the topic of his film of the same name. At first it was not easy to find out what he was really talking about.

The phrase “ambition to meaning” seemed a little abstruse, and terming one chapter “From” and another “To” seemed a bit strange though understandable.

Wayne discusses the shift “from ambition to meaning” which is also the topic of his film of the same name. At first it was not easy to find out what he was really talking about. The phrase “ambition to meaning” seemed a little abstruse, and terming one chapter “From” and another “To” seemed a bit strange though understandable. Particularly the first chapter was not very readable from my point of view. He begins by discoursing on our transition from Nonbeing to Being, spirit into form.

I found this difficult to comprehend because surely we come from God, Source, or whatever we would term it, and is this not absolute Being? How can God be Nonbeing? I myself had an amazing out-of-body experience when I was 14, where I experienced being what I felt was “a cell in the body of God/the Universe”.

I felt this as pulsating blissful Being, bathed in a golden light, a state where there was no time and no death – there was nothing “Nonbeing” about it. Wayne talks at length of nothingness, oneness and surrender, all worthy, basic and relevant concepts. He provides inspiring and relevant citations from the Tao Te Ching, A Course in Miracles, Nisargadatta Maharaj, who is apparently his teacher, Longfellow, Tagore, White Eagle, T.S.

Eliot and even Rabbie Burns from my homeland. Chapter Two deals with “Ambition”, which he says arises from our false self. When we “emerge from the world of spirit”, we develop ego or the false self, whereas previously we “allowed ourselves to be lived by the great Tao”.

Wayne here discusses the six lies the ego wants us to believe: 1) Who I am is what I have 2) Who I am is what I do 3) Who I am is what others think of me 4) I am separate from everyone else 5) I am separate from what’s missing in my life, and finally 6) I am separate from God. It is well worth refreshing our acquaintance with these belief systems which our upbringing and culture incline us to adopt, but which we subsequently need to get rid of.

In chapter Three we are reminded to make a U-turn back to our place of origin and fulfill our dharma by finding the meaning of our life. It doesn’t matter where we are on our “journey”, but only which direction we are headed.

Our desired U-turn consists of shifting to personal empowerment, seeing ourselves connected to everyone, being motivated by “ethics, serenity, and quality of life”, shifting to the possibility or even expectation of miracles being a part of life, practising meditation, beginning to “recognize ourselves in nature’s beauty and intricacy”, becoming less judgmental, and more able to understand and forgive. Wayne also includes an interesting section on quantum change.

Chapter Four deals with Meaning, which is our goal. We return to the place we originated and know it for the first time. He elaborates on the four cardinal virtues “that constitute our original nature”. These are 1) reverence for all life 2) natural sincerity 3) gentleness 4) supportiveness, Basically, the book deals with the shift to “the path of a meaningful and purposeful life”. This includes 1) the shift from entitlement to humility 2) the shift from control to trust 3) the shift from attachment to letting go. All these shifts are essential. In “Wishes fulfilled”, Wayne referred to Anita Moorjani’s book “Dying to be me”, describing her extremely serious bout with cancer, after which she experienced an NDE with subsequent complete healing.

I have now read this book in which Anita explains that she feels her cancer was caused by her leading a life with a completely false self, always doing things for others even though this did not feel right and being unable to show or be who she really was. This fits in with Wayne’s thesis in this book about the need to get rid of the false self that most of us have taken on. To sum up, this is a valuable book, just not the most readable of the author’s books, and initially a little hard to get into. I found the final two chapters to be the best, and much more readable than the first two, but this may just be my own subjective opinion.

I love Wayne’s erudition, love, kindness, generosity, great work with himself, and his life path of informing others of how they too best can work on their personal and spiritual development. I enjoin you to read this book too and all his books. Just read the INTRO and finished Chapter one,looks like another great book by Dr Wayne Dyer.Ok, I have finished reading the book Twice, now all I can say is, It's an Excellent read and well done to Dr Wayne Dyer.

Let Mr Dyer touch you and Inspire you to live a life that has meaning, everyone on this planet will have to shift their thought process to Achieve this, again well done Mr Dyer, that was a great read, thank you.

It all should begin with the enquiry on 'Who am I?' And lead to the realization of true Self. The book reveals the author's vigorous search for finding meaning and true purpose of life; and serious attempt to transcend the worldly cravings and bindings. The author quotes H W Longfellow to highlight that there is much more to think about than what generally meets the eye in the world: Life is real! Life is earnest!

And the grave is not its goal; Dust thou art, to dust returnest, Was not spoken of the soul. This is a very valuable contribution to the field of spiritual inquiry especially because the author has condensed in this the works of various lines of spiritual thought.

They are titled, in order, From, Ambition, To, Meaning. Reading The Shift, it is clear that greatness can only truly be accomplished through elimination of the ego.

Otherwise, anything we describe as greatness: a high salary, a major promotion, a new car; they are all solely based in ego. We make no contribution to a greater good.

Our authentic selves are missing. Ego tricks us into thinking we are full, when in fact we are empty.

I watched the movie and must say I enjoyed the entwining stories. There's a little bit of us in each of those characters to a certain degree. The ego, pride, the wanting, the hurting and the competing.

I loved his voice as he talks, there's no rush, no pressure. I love his concept of the Quantum Moment, I would call it the Christ encounter.

Wayne Dyer felt this lack of fulfilment after he had bestsellers and a big house. I wonder if it would be possible to do follow his advice if you're struggling financially. The shift is more of an attitude of letting go and letting God. Wayne Walter Dyer born May 10, 1940 is an American self-help author, and lecturer with around 30 titles to his credit. His first classic being the self-help psychology masterpiece Your Errogenous Zones – which had a slow start and then became an instant best seller.

Following the success of that book, he then to more spiritual stuff like. Experiencing the Miraculous. Excuses Begone!.

There's a Spiritual Solution to Every Problem. The Power of Intention. You can Heal your Life The common thread i Wayne Walter Dyer born May 10, 1940 is an American self-help author, and lecturer with around 30 titles to his credit. His first classic being the self-help psychology masterpiece Your Errogenous Zones – which had a slow start and then became an instant best seller. Following the success of that book, he then to more spiritual stuff like.Experiencing the Miraculous.Excuses Begone!.There's a Spiritual Solution to Every Problem.The Power of Intention.You can Heal your Life The common thread in all his books is ‘Self Actualization’, Interpretations of ‘Tao Te Ching’, ‘Spiritual Oneness’ and the ‘Inner Being’ & ‘Higher Consciousness’ and in most of his books, you would see examples of Christ, Buddha and Hindu Mythology.

And now he comes out with his latest contribution a book which was supposed to be titled ‘From Ambition to Meaning’ but then got baptized as ‘The Shift. The surprising thing about this book is that the book is really very thin and it also comes with a DVD. But don’t let that fool you. The book is incredibly condensed with though provoking material. The overall focuses of this book is – the transition from an aimless ego centered life to a life of meaning & purpose. The use of the acronym EGO – Edging God Out.

The author divided the book into 5 parts Introduction From Ambition To Meaning The book focuses on answering the tough questions like Who am I? Why am I here? What is my purpose? Now what did I like about this gift set:.Though I am an atheist, it gave me food for thought. A very thought provoking logical approach towards the unexplainable & yes, true happiness.Very condensed, to the point, and at the same time very deep. You can complete reading the book in say an hour or so and you would still enjoy reading it again.The book came along with a DVD. It gave a different feel and flavor to the whole aspect of reading and learning.

Very engaging and creative manner of communicating a message. What I didn’t necessarily like:.There is focus on Buddism, Christianity, Hinduism and Tao. But what about other religions?.The author cherry picked whatever he liked from different books & scripts – taking only what suited his purpose and ignored the rest.The content had similarities to the likes of the infamous garbage of the century – the book called ‘The Secret’ – more like if you believe, your dreams will manifest itself. Sounds nice but one has to be realistic & not floating in fantasy world.Being an author of around 30 books and enjoying an incredible passive income that comes from all these books, DVD’s, CD’s, MP3’s, lectures and speaking engagements, having millions in the bank, it is very easy to talk about not wanting more or letting go.

As long the Dr. Wayne Dyer charges for his material and for his public appearances – he is not walking his talk.

He is only talking. And being a 60 year old man, I am sure he has done it all – so with all his spirituality, he is another fake wanna be. So overall, If I had to sum it up, I would say another book that tries to logically reason about the unexplainable but does a far decent job that the atrocious embarrassment of the garbage titled ‘The Secret’. I would say, if you are looking for a thought provoking, well explained worthwhile book on spirituality, this is by far the best among the few. Overall Rating If I subtract the bullshit of the ‘namaste’ and the drama Dr. Wayne Dyer is deluding himself into of feeling blessed and spiritual, I would give this book a decent 8 out of 10 for doing a rather good job. Yes folks, it is a worthwhile investment.

Dyer writes compassionately and eloquently, drawing sources from religious texts to poets. Here are some of my most important takeaways. More important than happiness, we are all deeply in pursuit of meaning in our lives.

That is the great hunger. Failure to live our life purpose will cause a life of misery and bitterness. We must discover our authentic self by scorching the Ego which leads us to believe that who we are is determined by our possessions, accomplishments and reputation. Following the ego leads us to endless strive but never arrive.

The direction we take in life is much more critical than the speed/effort. Following our intuition doesn't mean working any less hard but only mean that we will not needlessly struggle. Since we don't keep anything we accomplish or accumulate, the only thing we can do with our life is to give it away.

Practise non-interference. The Tao does nothing but leaves nothing undone.

I especially like this quote. Our mind doesn't know the way, Our heart has already been there, And our soul never left Welcome, home! - Emmanuel I hope I can move from the ego driven morning of life to the authentic purpose in the afternoon of life.:). Loved the book.

This was my first Dyers book, and i want to read more. It speaks about spiritual truth applied to every day life. How the true fulfilment comes from consiously choosing to recognize what we do out of ambition as opposed to what truly bringing us happyness. The example is how we choose career because of titles, how important it makes us feel, the money, fame etc. But all of these things do not make us happy, they just cares our outer shell.

John's University in New York. He first pursued an academic career, publishing in journals and running a successful private therapy practice, but his lectures at St. John's, which focused on positive thinking and motivational speaking techniques, attracted students beyond those enrolled. A literary agent persuaded Dyer to package his ideas in book form, resulting in Your Erroneous Zones; although initial sales were thin, Dyer quit his teaching job and began a publicity tour of the United States, doggedly pursuing bookstore appearances and media interviews ('out of the back of his station wagon', according to Michael Korda, making the best-seller lists 'before book publishers even noticed what was happening'.
