...But there's a reason these CD's are so inexpensive. In the set that I received two of the CD's were mis-labeled. The labels on the CD's: "How to Get What You Really, Really, Really, Really Want" and "Improve Your Life Using The Wisdom of the Ages" were reversed. It didn't really make any difference, but this is perhaps the reason these CD's are so [inexpensive].

Aside from that minor inconvenience, this CD program is fantastic! You won't find everything that is in his books on the CD's, but they're great for getting an overview of his books and his philosophy for living. I enjoyed listening to them on a recent cruise and found them to be inspiring and life-changing. I continue to listen to them in my car and at home on occasion. I also have loaned them out to friends and business associates who are too busy to read the books but have enjoyed listening to them on flights or between appointments in their car.

While some of the material is redundant between the 4 CD's, I find that I gain a new insight each time I hear his antecdotes. If you have enjoyed his books, this is a no brainer and the price is right!

Especially for the low cost, this is GREAT! (my cds were not mislabeled)

This CD set is a compilation of the series of televised specials that have been shown on Public Television during pledge breaks. They are essentially the audio portions of his video program.

I own a number of Wayne Dyer tape sets and this CD compilation is a bargain. It contains his best material at about 90% off what you could pay to purchase his larger tape sets.

One of the attractions of Wayne Dyer to me is not his advice - which borrows heavily from other self-help gurus - but his delivery combined with his own personal stories. He relies heavily on discussion of his personal background from being in an orphanage to being divorced and dealing with the absence of his father since birth.

Wayne Dyers books have weathered the passing of time. His popularity may have been greatest in the late 70's - however his message is still crystal clear for anyone who wishes to listen and learn.

After picking this book up at a Sam's club out of curiosity I found that I couldn't put it down and ended up putting it in the cart. My companion is a begining Astronomy buff and he couldn't get enough eighther. We were reading it to each other and trying to read it at the same time. We have learned alot from this book and have put it to good use with his new telescope. I highly remommed this book to the person who has always wanted to get started in astronomy!

This beautifully produced book is a superb addition to the library of any backyard astronomer or anyone from eight to eighty. It's a best buy for several reasons.
The first is its outstanding quality. The second is the BEWARE!.
This book is actually a softcover, otherwise identical reprint of "Advanced Skywatching", ISBN: 0783549415, published in 1997, also by Time-Life.
Perhaps Time-Life used this subterfuge to catch unwary on-line shoppers that already own "Advanced Skywatching" (as I do), since you can't view the contents on-line to discover you already own the same book under a different name.

The complaint on the star charts about this book (or its twin) not covering the entire sky is not critical.
There isn't room on anyone's bookshelf for all the possible fun sky-hops, of which this book and its twin present abundant excellent examples. There are more and different, also challenging and instructive ones in another fine volume, "Turn Left at Orion", and many others.

Not to worry if you get sucked in. This one makes a fine gift for your favorite grandchild as mine will.
Add this to your "must have" list if you don't already own its twin. If you do, buy it anyhow and give it to someone special.
The price is astonishingly low for the fine content.

In spite of his discussion of the NEZ people (Non-Erroneous Zone for the neophite) I found the overall quality of the book to be good. The NEZ description appeared to be of a typical saint, although too detached from social interaction to be of my liking. I have read many of his other books and the good thing about this guy is that you can almost see the time progression of his ideas (they change from time to time, although not too radically).

before I read this book, I was going trough a tough time. When my dad gave it to me, I didn't think it was gonna be any help, but it helped me to look at life in a new way. I would suggest reading this book at least once.

I thought this book contained good information and the drawings are incredible- although confusing at times. There are many steps described in this book, both advanced and beginner. I find this book a great addition to my ballet collection. As a dancer, it is a good reference book for me when I have a question or uncertainty about a step. This book describes in detail how to preform barre exercises, allegros, turns, pointe work, etc. This is a necessity for all dancers and dancer-wannabes.

I have the hard bound edition of this book, published some time ago by Alfred Knopf, and I never tire of looking at the drawings and appreciating the mathematical precision of classical ballet. The reading of this book will be of an enormous assistance to studying ballet, and it is also invaluable if one wants to study the more technical facets of the subject. Ballet is one form of dance that can be mathematically systemaitized and characterized, and this book is a great reference for such an undertaking. Definitely worth having and the paperback edition with its low price makes it completely accessible to all.

I found this book to be wonderful. Humorous, sad, and maddening at times, it portrayed a small possible slice of life in one small town called Dot. This is definitely a buyer and a keeper. The main characters have very life like qualities and some very sad things happen to them but it's what shapes their characters and brings them the sense of realism that you find in really good books. They don't always have a happily ever after, and they do make mistakes, but they are definitely people that I can picture myself meeting and making friends of in real life. I can't wait to read the next book in this series to find out what happens to the lives of the people in this small town

The doings are dastardly and I got a full frontal look at "things" I had heretofore only heard of, and none of it shocked me because I adored these characters! This male author got into his heroine's head and made her breathe. I laughed. I cried, too. A DOT ON THE MAP turned out to be quite a romance. I've enjoyed other books in this highly entertaining series, and intend to read them all.

Casual in a sense, not twist your brain all up in the ugly way that a lot of "theorists" seem to like to. It's straight talk about poetry. Great length too.

This book of essays is a wonderful and surprising work, by the clear-minded and perceptive poet W.H. Auden. It is not a formal methodical work, like one would expect from a critic, but rather a poetic creation that provokes thought rather than defining thoughts. Auden's way of relating all sorts of things to each other, from opera to art to Shakespeare to everyday life, makes for a very mind-refreshing read. For anyone who has an interest in literature, art, or philosophy, this is a great choice.

This book had the old fashioned feel of Little Women. The school is like a big family where there may be disagreements, but ultimately all of the members look out for each other. I think that the french and german words sprinkled throughout the book are a good way for today's kids to learn a few basic phrases in different languages.

As the fourth in the Chalet School Series, this book continues in excellent style the previous books. It deals with one of the first members of the Chalet School and her time as the Head Girl. Again in this book the use of French and German words makes this difficult for monolingual children to read. However, my children ages 6 and 9 love listening to me read this series out loud to them - even without pictures. The adventures are fun, the pranks harmless, and children rapidly come to love and relate to the characters. My kids play "Chalet School" all of the time now. This book should definitely be bought by anyone with an interest in Europe, especially Austria in the 1920's.

What a wonderful book for anyone who has either grown up or lived in Morris Plains, NJ, the "Community of Caring." Through photos, many of which date from the turn of the century to the early 1950's, the book tells the story of a small, friendly town in Northern New Jersey where even today, you get the feeling that "everyone knows your name." It was interesting to find out about the history of some of the first people who shaped the community. Also intriguing, was seeing pictures of the many buildings in "the downtown" and homes that are still standing today. To quote the end of the book, I think many people who have lived in Morris Plains could attest, "The more things change, the more they remain the same." Again, what a wonderful gift for anyone associated with Morris Plains, the "Community of Caring!"

Having grown up in Morris Plains I was fascinated by the pictorial history contained in the book. The names appearing in the text describing the 50's and 60's were names common at my kitchen table. Two generations of my family were barbers in Morris Plains so my family was well-grounded in Morris Plains history. The book (Mr. Myers lived just down the road from my home) is an extremely accurate record of the establishment and growth of the area and captures the "home town" feel that I remember so fondly. It is a concise look into a simpler past that is recalled with great joy by people all over the United States, with special interest for those of this area.

Peekaboo Farm is a very attractive open the flap book that will keep your child amused. I bought it to entertain my preschooler on a long airplane flight. The cardboard doors are a bit sticky so you will need to help open them the first time.

This book was excellent. It was entertaining yet educational at the same time. The children love opening the flaps and the book helps to teach them the concepts of 123's and ABC's without the children even realizing how much they are learning. Peekaboo farm is beautifully illustrated and even I have enjoyed reading it over and over again!

Dyer's study is extremely fascinating, and his reading of "Night of the Living Dead" alone makes the study worth reading. He repeatedly shows how race introduces itself where we least expect it, and his attentiveness to detail in film representations is careful and illuminating.

The study does have its blind spots, particularly with regard to politics. There is a vehemently progressive bent (as scornful of liberalism as of right-wing Thatcherism) that separates the texts Dyer reads occasionally into "good texts" but---and this is far more often the case--into "bad texts" which he proceeds at times to pathologize more than analyze. His distaste for the middleclass popularity of "The Jewel in the Crown," for example, seems to prompt him to unleash real vituperation against it, and to read it very shortsightedly (he almost entirely neglects to mention, for example, that the serial is adapted from a series of novels by Paul Scott which address many of the points he believes the serial omits). This is a smart book, but it's often lacking in critical distance.

Dyer's study of whiteness is a comprehensive piece. It covers all the grounds you'd expect and a few more. His style of deceptive academia (the way he explains theory and collates data from various complex sources, making them understandable and ready to grasp is a wonderul feat of writing) that strays from the usual school of academic over-writing is a true breath of fresh air. His personal insight, and anecdotal examples, are witty and vividly illustrative of his points. After his other successes in the past ('Stars' and his brilliant BFI book on 'Se7en'), Dyer firmly sets himself out as one of the finest film academics around. 'White' is exceptional.

Dyer is one of the most important film critics in the west. His exploration of what race and politics have to do with entertainment is absolutely crucial to understanding movies better. They are not only entertainment but a key to the way modern politics work in everyone's imagination. The only other popular culture critic as astute on this subject is the American writer Armond White and Dyer's latest work makes a welcome pair with White's The Resistance. To challenge film viewers to analyze their own relationship to the ideas and images on screen is among the most significant work a contemporary critic can undertake. Dyer's chapters on Jewel in the Crown and his analysis of western art and the influence of its ideas on popular culture will be important for as longa s there are movies.
