Product Description
'Change the way you look at things and the things you look at will change.' Wayne Dyer For years Wayne Dyer has been researching the power of intention, the energy that surrounds all of us. He tells us how we can train ourselves to tune into this energy and step beyond our minds and egos. When we do this we become what Dyer calls 'Connectors' and make ourselves available to the energy of success. Connectors are the people whom everyone sees as lucky, the people who get all the breaks. They don't say, 'With my luck, everything will go wrong,' they just know things will go well. They trust an invisible force that will be all-providing and just don't attract negativity to themselves. This book is full of dynamic steps that we can use to tap into this transformational energy. This book explores intention – not as something you do – but as an energy you're part of. We're all intended here through the invisible power of intention. This is the first book to look at intention as a field of energy you can access to begin co-creating your life!

The best Wayne Dyer has written
I hadn't really considered the concepts of things like manifesting and the power of intention until about four or five months ago. Since then I have read a few books on the subject and in particular Wayne Dyer's writings. The first thing I would say is that while there may be some common themes across his books you get the impression he has been searching for a consistent message and perspective on the idea of what it is to manifest, how to do it and how it actually works.
I think that The Power of Intention is probably the best book he has written on the subject. There is a more consistent feeling to the message and the actual power he speaks of is described as a force seeking to work in harmony with you for the greater good. I found that easier to grasp and make sense of than some his theories in Manifest your Destiny for example where at times he comes across as saying "You are God so just performa miracle" and at other times implying that by virtue of being one with God miracles would be preformed at your direction.
There is a lot of thought provoking ideas put forward and a general sense that the impossible is more a state of mind than anything else. However, to be critical a few areas were left a little vague. While you are told that you can manifest the life you want there seems to be a number of caveats in place. It is implied that you should try to manifest the generic rather than the specific. This may pass as an attempt to address the natural question of what happens if two people were trying to manifest the exact same outcome. The second thing is that there is a reminder that if you do not achieve what you had hoped for then it's highly probably that you either didn't believe enough or that you wanted something that was incompatible with the aims of intention for the greater good. Which in a sense reinforced the idea that you should only aim for the generic - "don't go thinking you can manifest Brad Pitt or Kylie Minogue into your life." The only other thing I would criticise is that reference is made to Japa meditation but there is no detail on how to do it. I think there should have been a description of this and some exercises. If you want to find out about it you can read Manifest Your Destiny or Getting in the Gap. But in my opinion this information should have been included.
Overall I would say this is at least a good tonic for anyone who feels their sense of optimism is flagging. At best it might just unlock a new life where you really do achieve all the things you dreamed of.
The Book That Changed My Life!
This is the book that changed my life!
Of all the books I have read, this outstanding work by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer has caused a turn around in my life; in the way I look at life; in the way I live it. It is exciting, and refreshingly different. How different?
Well, to begin with, in his preface, Dr. Dyer sends the reader to the last chapter in the book first! Chapter 15, entitled A Portrait of a Person Connected to the Field of Intention, is the author's attempt to show the impact that this work can have upon an individual. After reading it I have no doubt that you will go back to the beginning for what will probably be the beginning of a "new you".
Dr. Dyer's thesis is contained in Part 1, The Essentials of Intention. Consisting of the first six chapters, it is here that he slowly and carefully constructs his concept. From Viewing Intention From A New Perspective, through a description of The Seven Faces Of Intention, to Chapter 6, Intention and Infinity, the reader is led to the conclusion: "Just as love is eternal, so is this my true nature. I'll never be afraid again, because I am forever." He then asks, "You are in the truest sense, as I've said previously, either a human being having an occasional spiritual experience, or an infinite spiritual being having a temporary human experience. Which of those gives you a feeling of love? And which inspires fear?"
Throughout, these six formulating chapters, Dr. Dyer draws from some of the great minds of our time and in history: Hermes, Emily Dickinson, John Keats, Swami Chidvilasananda, Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, Mahatma Gandhi, Max Planck and Dr. David R. Hawkins, to name a few. Each chapter ends with a five point "how to" section to assist the reader in implementing the ideas just covered.
The second section of the book, entitled Putting Intention to Work, contains eight chapters, each offering specific information and a step-by-step guide for applying the principles developed in the first section to the daily life situations we all face at one time or another.
The last section, consisting of one chapter, is that which I referred to at the beginning of this review. As you read it for the second time you know that this is a book you will read again, and again. I have recommended this book to just about everyone I know, and will continue to do so at every opportunity.
Get this book! It changed my life, and I know it will change yours.
the power of intention
I have suffered badly from depression for several years, and I have even attempted suicide on a number of occassions. I find it very hard to trust people because of all the times that I have been used and abused, this book has really helped me turn my life around and now I see that as long as I am happy with me the person I was and am ment to be, what does it matter what anybody else thinks. I am now more in control of my life than I ever was, and it is all thanks to this book. I know I still have a long way to go but I am on the right road - and I am finally happy with who I am and where I am going. Thank You DR Wayne Dyer for allowing me to see that I am worth while, and who cares what anybody else thinks - if they don't like you, then nobody's perfect.
