'Intention is a force in the universe, and everything and everyone is connected to its invisible force.'

Intention is generally viewed as a pit-bull kind of determination, propelling one to succeed at all costs by never giving up on an inner picture. In this view, an attitude that conbines hard work with an indefatigable drive toward excellence is the way to suceed. However, intention is viewed very differently in this book. Dr. Wayne W. Dyer has researched intention as a force in the universe that allows the act of creation to take place. This book explores intention-not as someting you do-but as an energy you're a part of. We're all intended here through the invisible power of inteniton. This is the first book to look at intenton as a field of energy you can access to begin co-creating your life!

Part I deals with the principles of intention, offering true stories and examples showing how to make the connection. Dr. Dyer identifies the attributes of the all-creating, uinversal mind of intention as creative, kind, loving, beautiful, expanding, endlessly abundant, and receptive, explaining the importance of emulating this source of creativity. In Part II, Dr. Dyer offers an intention guide with specific ways to apply the co-creating principles in daily life. Part III is an exhilarating description of Dr. Dyer's vision of an indiviual connected at all times to the universal mind of intention.

Wayne W. Dyer, Ph. D., is an internationally renowned author and speaker in the field of self-development. He's the author of more than 20 books, has created many audios, CDs, and videos; and has appeared on thousands of television and radio programs. Four of his books, including Manifest Your Destiny, Wisdom of the Ages, There's a Spiritual Solution to Every Problem, and the New York Times bestseller 10 Secrets for Success and Inner Peace, were featured as National Public Television specials; and this book, The Power of Intention, will be showcased there as well. Dyer holds a doctorate in eduational counseling from Wayne State Universitiy and was an associate professor at St. John's University in New York. Website: www.DrWayneDyer.com

'Change the way you look at things, and the things you look at change.'

'You were intended out of live; you must be love in order to intend.'

'You must match intention's attribues with you won in order to capitalize on those poweres in your life.'

'If you're experiencing scarcity, anguish, depression, an absence of love, or any inability to attract what you desire, seriously look at how you've been attacting these circumstances into your life.'

'You cannot solve a problem by condemning it.'

'That which offends you only weakens you.'

'This new way of seeing will enable people in your presence to feel comforted and peaceful, and to indirectly be loving accomplices to your connection to intention.'

'If life is infinite, then this is not life.'

-Dr. Wayne W. Dyer

Acknowledgments
About the author

The Secrets of the Power of Intention is one of those books I have returned to again and again, and each time it just keeps getting better. This audiobook version, read by Dr. Dyer himself, is a treasure trove of good advice, funny and touching stories, and easy to implement practices designed to achieve a happy, healthier you and me. As someone who has followed his teachings post-accident as I navigated the after effects of a traumatic brain injury, I was pleasantly surprised at how effective his methods can be applied for alleviating anxiety and mild depression. As Dr. Dyer discusses the importance of intention and the law of attraction in creating the life you want to live, one can’t help but feel empowered and encouraged by his suggestions that are backed up with quotations from and references to many spiritual paths as well as his personal stories. The Power of Intention is one of my favorite all-time books that I have recommended many times. I’ve also quoted from it in my classes. I never get tired of listening to Dr. Dyer speak truths and tell stories, and revisiting this book always feels a bit like coming home again. 5 stars ( )

Change the way you look at things, and the things you look at change. You were intended out of love; you must be love in order to intend. The new way of seeing will enable people in your presence to feel comforted and peaceful, and to indirectly be loving accomplices to your connection to intention.

When he says "Intention" I mentally substitute the word "Faith"; then I don't need to learn a whole new terminology. He is really speaking about concepts that have been around for millenium, but has packaged them in a different way.

At the same time I was listening to this, I was also listening to "Self-Esteem & Peak Performance" by Jack Canfield & found Canfield's work a lot more solid as something I can use. ( )

Feels like a beginner book to self development.

The book reads just like the Secret or the law of attraction. lots of feel good stuff. The main difference is only the author feels more genuine and is really interested in helping people.

some of the things mentioned are wrong or not proven. Eg your thoughts move faster than light (Oh really?) Angry thoughts are low frequency energy (Nope Angry thoughts can make you hyperactive and explode). Alcohol and drugs give you low energy (not true. some drugs make you high at first before causing you to lose most of your energy) ( )
