Title

The Power of Intention. Learning to Co-create Your World Your Way

by DR. WAYNE W. DYER (September 2010).

Summary of the book

In this work , Dr. Wayne W. Dyer presents us with the invisible but powerful force of the concept called intention. That is to say, the energy in the universe which we all participate in and which allows us to carry out the act of creating. Dyer also teaches how knowing about intention people can approach the concept of happiness. In this book, the author exemplifies this abstract principle by clarifying real stories.

Personal opinion

I think that Dr. Wayne W. Dyer’s thought is most interesting by the concept of change that he always exposes in his books and conferences. In "The Power of Intention", he shows us that having a peaceful life is always possible thank to the idea of intention, even though sometimes we feel under stress because of work, the current economical situation, because of the credit crunch or the whole idea of the capitalist society.

I believe it is a relief reading that, according to the author, we can reach happiness and peace in any circumstance just by being connected to this superior source he calls intention (a concept which some people call mother Nature, God, superior energy, etc) to which we belong and which can always show us the path we have to follow by only just being receptive to listening to it. He believes that this force already has all we need and it will give everything to us in the appropriate way and time, so we can accomplish the mission and purpose we have been created for. Furthermore, Dyer also thinks that, ironically, when someone stops asking for and needing more things, they begin receiving more than they wanted.

I also think that the idea of counterweight is very constructive. From his point of view, the Doctor states that the good energy of positive people ends up by counteracting the pessimism of others with always negative ideas in mind. Specifically, Dyer advises staying away not only from the negativism and pessimism, but also from television violence and consumerism and he insists on the idea that one should approach a spiritual way of life which can offer even more.
