    There’s a voice in the universe calling each of us to remember our purpose—our reason for being here now, in this world of impermanence. The voice whispers, shouts, and sings to us that this experience of being in form, in space and time, knowing life and death, has meaning. The voice is that of inspiration, which is within each and every one of us.     In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Wayne W. Dyer explains how we’ve chosen to enter this world of particles and form. From our place of origin, in ways that we don’t readily comprehend now, we knew what we were coming here to accomplish, and we participated in setting this life process in motion. So why not think this same way? Why put the responsibility or blame on any one or any thing that’s not a part of us? On Earth we have the capacity of volition—we can choose—so let’s assume that we had the same capacity when we resided in the spiritual realm. We chose our physical body, and we chose the parents we needed for the trip. It doesn’t seem too great a stretch to move into the idea that we chose this life in concert with our Source.     Each chapter in this book is filled with specifics for living an inspired life. From a very personal viewpoint, Wayne Dyer offers a blueprint through the world of spirit to inspiration, your ultimate calling.


Inspiration Reviews


  • Richard

    Two of the biggest lessoned I learned from a truly inspiring book:

    page 198 On Healing - "reunited to a stream of well-being"

    page 209 On Organized Religion - "Jesus wasn't a christian, divine spiritual beings came here as emissaries of truth"

    page 218 On Letting Go - "Just close down the battlefield and surrender. Send the soldiers home, and replace the instruments of war in your mind with thoughts of peace, tranquility, and surrender. Making your mind a place of peace is achieved by YOUR OWN WILL, so steadfastly refusing to have thoughts of conflict allows you to activate the glory of remembering your Spirit."

  • Keshia

    In this book, Dyer explains that to be inspired is to be "in spirit"--to be one with your source--God. He provides great personal examples and quotes from Rumi, Micheal Angelo, Albert Einstein and explains how to apply them to get to a state of inspiration from at which point--we create and live our best lives.

    This is a great CD for listening to in the car or around the house. You will find Dyer's delivery and content will keep you engaged. I recommend this book for anyone who seek to be propelled through life not by societal expectations or conditioning but by the ultimate life force--God.

  • Heidi The Reader

    I think Dr. Dyer is at his best during his meditation programs rather than his inspirational writing. I really enjoyed his Getting in the Gap meditations, I AM Wishes Fulfilled meditations, and Meditations for Manifesting. I didn't enjoy this as much because it's more of a record of his personal experiences and thoughts on being rather than practicing being. But, if you like that sort of thing, there's much here to be inspired by.

  • Heather

    This book was very powerful, and I feel I will be coming back to it often. What I like best about Dyer's writing style is that he brings the topic of inspiration down to a very basic level so that it doesn't seem so daunting, and give practical, easy ideas on how to implement inspiration in every day life. I think
    Ekhart Tolle was trying to convey this same message in
    The Power of Now, but his writing was SO deep that each and every sentence seemed too powerful to grasp. Dyer has achieved / explained finding and living your inspiration and your connection to God / Universe / The Source for the everyman. He is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors.

    This book is pretty light on substance. It is interesting but falls short of the title's claim. Dyer celebrates of the existence of G_d. However, his eclectic appellation is overshadowed by flashes of self-promotion. Aside from a couple of interesting insights, the book lacks direction and falls short as a "how to" guide. The gist of Dyer's message is to ditch the, "woe is me" attitude and substitute it with the "Woah! it's me" mantra. Its a pretty fluffy book heavy on anecdote - more akin to tossing darts in the dark with the primary advice being to maintain a positive attitude and sense of wonderment while tossing.

    Save your cash and check it out from your local library if you are remotely curious how the self-described "best selling author" was and continues to be inspired as he walks the beaches of Hawaii.

    A remarkable book that just opened my eyes to a higher calling. Dr. Dyer explains in common sense language the necessity to connect to our source, a universal name for God. When we think about what we want to do in life it's always important to remember that we already know the answer. When we connect to our Source we feel inspiration.

    Dyer teaches us that everyone has an ultimate calling as defined by our true connection to God or Source. Your mind transcends all limitations. Thanks to this book I found myself in a new world, a world I had been missing. His emphasis on meditation has reminded how important that is for my mental health.

  • Cassandra Carico

    I suppose that I should not be allowed to critique self help books. I just seem to find much of what they say to be common sense all wrapped in a fancy little package. This one is no exception. The fellow is a good talker and his book is interesting, but not terribly different or more helpful than any other self help that is out there. Read it if you wish, if you like this sort of thing.....

  • Jared Fontaine

    Love this book! I got it on tape and he is so great! This is a book that will make you feel good. It is not about step one do such and such. This book is about living in Spirit the eternal life force in the Universe with very flowery language.

  • James Battles

    A wonderful book that reminds us that we all come from the same Source (Spirit) and that living an inspired life, a life in spirit, is our ultimate calling. Many so called self help books try to teach you how to empower yourself. Dr. Dyer reminds you that you are already empowered.

  • Jenny

    .....Meh.

  • Alison Smith

    If there's a book that's right for us at every time in our lives then I couldn't have read this at a more prefect time. Every word, every point, every chapter spoke to me about what was happening to me. Rather than think I was going mad it helped normalise what was happening. It reminded me what living an IN SPIRIT ATIONAL life was all about. It reminded me that it was me making my life difficult and with a little more faith and trust then all was very very well.

    Thank You Wayne so sorry that you're no longer with us, and yet know in your writing you've left a lasting legacy.

  • Julie

    I enjoyed this, as always with one of Wayne Dyer’s books. This is my 3rd read as far as I remember and on this reading felt it was a bit overwritten.
    The message of course is very important and the principles of living in-spirit are unquestionable, but I feel it could have been maybe 50 pages shorter.
    This is definitely something that is a pattern in my rereads of spiritual favourites. The essential message is blurred by too much fluff.
    I really enjoy the author’s work, but Marianne Williamson remains my favourite writer in this genre.

  • Dawna

    This book changed my perception of life. It took me quite a while to read it, only because the messages in it were too deep and complex for my brain to comprehend in whole chapters, so I had to digest a little at a time. I’m a fan of donating/giving books if they are not part of my “all-time favorites,” so as to keep down on the clutter, but this book will absolutely be staying on my shelf— maybe even my bedside.

  • Aneth Davidd

    The book is not for everyone. It touches on spirituality from a different perspective from that of established religious beliefs. I also found it to be food for thought but also for soul/spirit, appropriate for open-minded people looking for inner meaning of life.

    I'm reading it for the second time but I still can't relate to some content, I feel like it could be clearer and straighter.

  • Sofía Ruiz

    An excelent book, it was my guide for 8 years,the day i finished the book was very amazing, it was like Dr Wayne was with me...

    I learn how to enjoy my present moment, to have a live with inspiration

  • Nadine Faustin-Parker

    Interesting Read! Interesting perspective on things! I shook my head in the yes format and no format periodically through the book. It's good but I didn't necessarily agree with everything. Which of course....is okay!

  • Karla Samman

    ¡Acepto la propuesta!

    Me parece de lo mejor que he leído del Dr. Wayne Dyer, quien para mí, ha sido desde hace muchos años un gran maestro, su luz me ha alcanzado a pesar del tiempo y la distancia. Allá, donde esté, le envío mi agradecimiento infinito y que siga brillando.

  • Christelle

  • Betty Najafi
