This is the second post of a ten-posts series in which I’ll bring you some of the best motivational videos that are available online.
The video is a seminar – “Power Of Intention” – presented by Dr. Wayne Dyer. It has a length of 2hrs and 15minutes, and it is a very powerful inspirational and empowering presentation.
Dr. Wayne W. Dyer (born May 10, 1940 in Detroit, Michigan) is a popular American self-help advocate, author and lecturer. His 1976 book Your Erroneous Zones has sold over 30 million copies and is one of the best-selling books of all time. It is said to have “[brought] humanistic ideas to the masses”.
Dyer spent much of his adolescence in an orphanage. He received his Doctor of Education in counseling from Wayne State University. He was a guidance counselor in Detroit at the high school level and a professor of counselor education at St. 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”), which eventually led to national television talk shows including Merv Griffin, The Tonight Show, and Phil Donahue.
Dyer proceeded to build on his success with lecture tours, a series of audiotapes, and regular publication of new books. Dyer’s audience was not limited to business as with Dale Carnegie or Stephen Covey, and so his message resonated with many people. He often recounted anecdotes from his family life, and repeatedly used his own life experience as an example. His self-made man success story was a part of his appeal. Dyer told readers to pursue Self actualization, calling reliance on the self as a guide a “religious” experience, and suggested that readers emulate Jesus Christ, who he termed both an example of a self-actualized person, and a “preacher of self-reliance”. Dyer criticized societal focus on guilt, which he saw as an unhealthy immobilization in the present due to actions taken in the past. He advocated readers to see how parents, institutions, and even themselves had imposed guilt trips on them.
Although Dyer resisted the New Age tag, by the 1990s he was altering his message to include more components of spirituality, in Real Magic, and higher consciousness, in Your Sacred Self. This direction seemingly reduced his broad appeal and he has appeared less often in the media since. ~ from Wikipedia
The main ideas that he presents in this seminar have an immense value. “The science of getting rich” seminar by Bob Proctor and this one are two of the most powerful video materials that are available online and I strongly suggest you to focus on understanding their messages and concepts.
If you want to make the most out of these videos watch them as often as you can, because the repetition of the right information is what’s necessary in order to change your mind. And changing your mind is the first and most difficult process in changing your life.
Enjoy the video!
