Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life

Across 81 short essays, one for each verse of the Tao Te Ching, Wayne W. Dyer applies the teachings of Lao Tzu to modern life. The verses themselves are included, compiled after Dyer studied a range of translations of a text that has lasted more than 25 centuries. Chapters carry titles such as Living by Letting Go, Living with Flexibility and Living without Enemies, and each closes with a section titled Doing the Tao Now. Dyer spent a year reading, researching and meditating on the verses, and practicing them daily, before he wrote the essays. They are meant to be read slowly, one a day.

In an interview about her favourite books, Madalina Uceanu of CareerAdvisor recommended Wayne Dyer's books to readers taking a spiritual path toward self-awareness.
