There are a few good points made in here. But I'm appalled at how many pages he gives to the basic idea of mentally joining opposites, so one sees the world more holistically. A decent point. But he says, "You should not see things as feminine or masculine," and expands on that. And he lists all these opposites, one by one, page after page, that you should see as one. He could basically have said in two pages "See the world as yin and yang" like the Taoist symbol, and not belabored it so extensively. The rest of the book has good points. But it is basically watered-down Abraham Maslow, from his book, TOWARD A PSYCHOLOGY OF BEING. Maslow says it better in that book.
An uncomplicated, completely honest, guide to living.

Dr. Dyer first puts into words, the reasons why you set limits on anything you want or need to do. He then, through examples in nature, physics, and common sense, makes the most valid arguments as to why ANYONE can remove those limits, and not only achieve, but grow. The book is not religious, but it is spiritual in an almost cosmic sense. Beware, this book may cause you to change the way you live and look at life, in a way that most people only dream of.
