Publisher Description
INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER, WITH OVER 3 MILLION COPIES SOLD From the #1 bestselling author of Your Erroneous Zones, a directed and practical book that shows you how to stop being manipulated by others and start taking charge of your own life.
Wayne Dyer reveals how we all can prevent ourselves from being victimized by others and begin to operate from a position of power at the center of our own lives. Asserting that we alone are responsible for how much we will be controlled by others, Dyer offers his practical plan for developing new attitudes toward the most common sources of victimization and manipulation, such as family members and authority figures in the workplace.
For example, families can be tremendously coercive and demanding, but they can also be an immensely rewarding part of your life. Dyer shows how to cope with the negative side and contribute to the positive. In their working life, many people stay in unfulfilling jobs because they feel constrained by their present experience or because they fear change. Dyer shows that by being enthusiastic and flexible, you can find the work to be happy. Life, Dyer says, is a beautiful thing as long as you hold the strings. Pulling Your Own Strings will give you the dynamic strategies and tools to master your own fate.
Customer Reviews
A Classic — Underrated and Forgotten
Wayne Dyer's Pulling Your Own Strings is an underrated and forgotten classic — possibly even to the author himself.
This book was written when Wayne was at his true lucid best, giving people the skills to deal with themselves and deal with others EFFECTIVELY.
Unafraif to write what was considered unpopular at the time, Dyer took a huge risk with the verbiage of his first major book, Your Erroneous Zones, and his second, Pulling Your Own Strings, and that risk paid off big time. He threw out conventional wisdom such as fitting in, knowing your place, authority, etc. in favor of PRACTICAL self sufficiency and self determinism.
In a nutshell, this book may very well help you deal with others in a way that will blow up — and clean out — your mind.
