For me, that book would be Pride and Prejudice. I hated it the first time I started it, though, but I think I was simply too young. I still haven't read Gone with the Wind.

i agree, lillian, that emotional intelligence was dry. it had good info in it, though. but, yes, very dry. excuses begone isn't bad for me but just didn't click with me the way other dyer books do. ......jen, it IS interesting the way books hit us at different times in our lives. and it's also interesting the way some of them are precious to us all our lives, but we get something different out of them each time. i love "gone with the wind", and although it's not the best book ever written, it always seems to give me something with every read, but something different....

I agree with Lillian that how books resonate becomes very personal. I read Alice in Wonderland years ago and found it tedious. I just had to read it again for an independent study I'm supervising and I absolutely loved it. I think love of most books may have to do with the moment as much as the material, in some ways.

Funny how some books resonate with some and not for others. I happened to love his book, Excuses Begone and actually I must say I have enjoyed all Wayne Dyer's books.
Going back to that Emotional Intelligence book, Lisa. I just could not get myself to finish that book. Too dry for me, perhaps he would have been better off simply titling it Intelligent!

jen ,some of dyer's books are better than others, although they all have some inspiration in them.the most recent one is "excuses begone", and that one doesn't do it for me so much. but his "spiritual solutions" is a good one. so is one that has magic in the title.i can't remember it right now. I think it's called "Real Magic". and he has one called "Inspiration" that's good.

Come Home to Your Body is a health/exercise/movement workbook to help regain power and connection with spirit- your "body wisdom" through movement. The author, is a Feldendrais practitioner.

I agree that books on tape are wonderful! Especially for long car rides. Lillian, what sort of book is Come Home to your Body? Is it yoga-based? I still haven't read Dyer, although I have many friends who love his work.

Just finished Come Home to Your Body by Pamela J. Free...great reminders of movement & breath. Now, reading Wayne Dyer... Inspiration, my spiritual buddy. I am sure this book will inspire my spirit.

well kids must like it for a reason. they sure do seem to prefer it to doing it themselves! at least when they're little. i like listening to lectures and such online.i like good radio shows too. we're bombarded with visual media. audio allows us to use our imaginations! storytelling is hard to find these days, and being read to is like that....and yes, it was UNBEARABLY hot!!!
